Hi, I am on MacOS 10.4.11, and have a minor recurring problem, when using my own Python installation.
I only stumbled over it when using http operations with the Mercurial SCM, and my /tmp/ folder was clobbered with *.rsrc temporary files. Some references: http://www.selenic.com/pipermail/mercurial/2007-October/015039.html and, as I forgot about it :( : http://www.selenic.com/pipermail/mercurial/2008-August/021072.html Apparently for some stuff plat-mac/macresource.py needs to create plat-mac/errors.rsrc.df.rsrc. If that fails, at least that is how I read macresource.py, it creates them via mkstemp in /tmp/. Once I recognize the problem I can work around it by either $ sudo mv /tmp/tmp<whatever>.rsrc /usr/local/lib/python2.5/plat-mac/errors.rsrc.df.rsrc or by temporarily "chown myname plat-mac", and, once the file is created, "chown root plat-mac" again. My 2.5.2 install is under /usr/local, but other Mac users with the same setup, do not have the problem. I don't need/want the Apple Framework install, and again, others do not have the problem with this setup. Anyone any ideas? The best I could google was http://bugs.python.org/issue763708 but this seems encoding related. TIA c -- Was heißt hier Dogma, ich bin Underdogma!
