New submission from Konrad Hinsen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: The file Mac/README in Python 2.6b3 says:
Installing in another place, for instance $HOME/Library/Frameworks if you have no admin privileges on your machine, has only been tested very lightly. This can be done by configuring with --enable- framework=$HOME/Library/Frameworks. The other two directories, "/Applications/MacPython-2.6" and /usr/local/bin, will then also be deposited in $HOME. This is sub-optimal for the unix tools, which you would want in $HOME/bin, but there is no easy way to fix this right now. In reality, the framework is installed in the directory given on the command line, but the installer then wants to write the app to /Applications/MacPython-2.6 and crashes due to lack of write permission: DYLD_FRAMEWORK_PATH=/shared_scratch/Python-2.6b3: ../python.exe ./scripts/Buil\ dApplet.py \ --destroot "" \ -- python=/shared_scratch/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2\ .6/Resources/Python.app/Contents/MacOS/Python`test -f "/shared_scratch/Library/\ Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/Resources/Python.app/Contents/M acOS/Py\ thon-32" && echo "-32"` \ --output "/Applications/Python 2.6/Build Applet.app" \ ./scripts/BuildApplet.py kCGErrorRangeCheck : Window Server communications from outside of session allow\ ed for root and console user only ./scripts/BuildApplet.py:34: DeprecationWarning: catching of string exceptions \ is deprecated except buildtools.BuildError, detail: Traceback (most recent call last): File "./scripts/BuildApplet.py", line 149, in <module> main() File "./scripts/BuildApplet.py", line 33, in main buildapplet() File "./scripts/BuildApplet.py", line 116, in buildapplet progress=verbose, destroot=destroot) File "/Volumes/User data/Scratch/Python-2.6b3/Lib/plat- mac/buildtools.py", li\ ne 115, in process copy_codefragment, raw, others, filename, destroot) File "/Volumes/User data/Scratch/Python-2.6b3/Lib/plat- mac/buildtools.py", li\ ne 140, in process_common is_update, raw, others, filename, destroot) File "/Volumes/User data/Scratch/Python-2.6b3/Lib/plat- mac/buildtools.py", li\ ne 327, in process_common_macho builder.build() File "/Volumes/User data/Scratch/Python-2.6b3/Lib/plat- mac/bundlebuilder.py",\ line 147, in build os.mkdir(builddir) OSError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/Applications/Python 2.6' make[1]: *** [install_BuildApplet] Error 1 make: *** [frameworkinstallapps] Error 2 ---------- components: Build messages: 71728 nosy: khinsen severity: normal status: open title: MacOS X framework install to non-standard directory fails versions: Python 2.6 _______________________________________ Python tracker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://bugs.python.org/issue3646> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
