But the problem at hand is conda python which used a plain unix build. They have provided a shell script "pythonw" that re-directs to a python inside an app bundle, and that works OK on the command line, but it does not work with, e.g. setuptools entry points. I could dig up the threads, but this has been discussed on this list, and few gitHub issues. In short, there are a few ways to work around these issues, but no one (the conda people, the setuptools devs) wants to put the kludgy work around in their code. And we already have a work around in the core python code, it's just that the build system needs to be set up to build it outside of a Framework. -CHB > Jack > > On 14-Jan-2021, at 23:07 , Chris Barker via Pythonmac-SIG < > pythonmac-sig@python.org> wrote: > > Ned suggested I bring this conversation over here from python-dev, so here > it is. > > What I'd like to see done is have the "pythonw" wrapper buildable in an > otherwise non-framework build. > > I *think* there are no real technical show stoppers, but it would take > some auto-conf magic, which I am fully unqualified to take on. > > Anyone interested in helping make this happen ? > > -CHB > > > -- > > Christopher Barker, Ph.D. > Oceanographer > > Emergency Response Division > NOAA/NOS/OR&R (206) 526-6959 voice > 7600 Sand Point Way NE (206) 526-6329 fax > Seattle, WA 98115 (206) 526-6317 main reception > > chris.bar...@noaa.gov > _______________________________________________ > Pythonmac-SIG maillist - Pythonmac-SIG@python.org > https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/pythonmac-sig > unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/Pythonmac-SIG > > > -- > > Jack Jansen, <jack.jan...@cwi.nl>, http://www.cwi.nl/~jack > > If I can't dance I don't want to be part of your revolution -- Emma Goldman > > > > _______________________________________________ > Pythonmac-SIG maillist - Pythonmac-SIG@python.org > https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/pythonmac-sig > unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/Pythonmac-SIG > -- Christopher Barker, PhD (Chris) Python Language Consulting - Teaching - Scientific Software Development - Desktop GUI and Web Development - wxPython, numpy, scipy, Cython
