Greetings all... I'm a Python neophyte and am trying to run packages on the Mac (now 'Tiger'). Structurally, Potentially.... Python is a great scripting software and great for modeling systems being developed into Cocoa/Obj-C. What struck me as a big problem on the OS X is the lack of a universal package-management system.
I've been trying to build the Thuban™ GIS system that uses wxPython and other packages on my Mac. The Setup.py routine fails to find critical wxPython packages causing the whole build to fail. I tried setting the PYTHONPATH env variable, etc. What I'm trying to do, ultimately, is to create a savvy Cocoa/Obj-C GIS program based on Open-Source software. But it's a royal pain to build native open- source code on the OS X as a model to work from. The main problem is the builder (setup.py) just can find all the necessary stuff (even after ./configure).
I'm hitting brick walls here.
Well, if it's not finding wxPython, then Thuban's build scripts are broken, because wxPython ships with Tiger. Whether or not a package management solution existed, Thuban would still be broken.
