Re: [PyInstaller] Re: Pyinstaller: calling another Tkinter restarts the app and doesn't bring up other Toplevel() window.

[JAY JAY]

Chris, I really appreciated your very thoughtful and encouraging message. 
This will help me learn python and move forward in a more idiomatic way. 
You rock!! I will spend some time on what you recommend. Looking forward to 
checking out your work too.

Jay

[PyInstaller] Re: Packaging gst-python

[MathieuP]

The important parts didn't make it through Nabble, so I'll add them here.

Here is how I build gst-python:
--with-libpython-dir="/usr/lib/python3.6/config-3.6m-x86_64-linux-gnu"

The additional data I pass in my spec file:
("gst_niro_test.py", "python")

The gst-python plugin is located there:
gst_plugins/libgstpython.cpython-36m-x86_64-linux-gnu.so

My test element is in:
python/gst_niro_test.py

And the error I have trying to run it is:
(entry:11): GStreamer-WARNING **: 22:23:36.187: Element factory metadata for
'nirotest' has no valid long-name field
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "entry.py", line 13, in 
GLib.Error: gst_parse_error: no element "nirotest" (1)
[11] Failed to execute script entry

[PyInstaller] pyinstaller .app doesn't work on other people's computers unless I do chmod +x

[JAY JAY]

Hopefully a simple question, but I can't run my app once I send it to 
someone else, or upload it and download it to my own computer:

"The application X cannot be opened."

Once I add chmod +x, it works! So, I'm almost there! How do I make this 
possible?

Bonus: is there any way to avoid the unidentified developer message, which 
requires you to right-click and select Open on a mac? Thanks!!!
