Stuff you launch from the dock shouldn't read your shell rc files.
You'll need to use ~/.MacOSX/environment.plist instead.

[Pythonmac-SIG] Build Applet Environ problem...

[Jerry LeVan]

Hi,

This weekend I got a MBP and started to transition to the Intel from  
PPC.

I use the "Build Applet" tool to make lightweight apps that I can  
launch from
the Dock.

Some of my apps use environmental variables to simplify the  
environment setup.

On the PPC G4 the applets would pick up the environmental variables  
when launched
from the dock. On the Intel side this does not appear to be the case.

If I launch the app from the command line "open -a" the environment  
vars will
be picked up.

Is this problem somehow my fault or is this a PythonMac/Intel problem?

Jerry
