* Christian Ebert on Thursday, August 28, 2008:
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:

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/tmpwhatever.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.
I gather from the overwhelming reaction that I am the only one
experiencing this ;-)
However, if I can provide more info that might be useful, just
tell me.
TIA
