Re: [Pythonmac-SIG] Macports and Django install problems
I am glad your doing this, but... I wish Leopard would ship with Django or there was a tool to install. I know Ruby on Rails is there. Already for, Ruby on Rails, there is a program called Locomotive http://locomotive.raaum.org/. Have not tried this, but, (you see where I am getting) we need an installer/ monitor for Django on OSX. Documentation is great. I also encourage/applaud this, regardless. However we need a installer/montitor app for Django development on on OSX. Does anyone know if one already exists or has been started? I would consider helping.

They are generated using bgen, which is in Tools/bgen/bgen. The last time I looked at this (which is a couple of years ago) you basicly had to be Jack to run this :-(. You also have to have the MacOS9 SDK headers, bgen doesn't look at the system headers at the moment. I see PyArg_Parse... being generated from there. Maybe its just a matter of changing it in the two or three places? Although, I am not sure what your doing. I was curious and also found this doc from MacPython: file:///localhost/Developer/Examples/Python/MacPython/plugins.html Mentions bgen and something called Modulator. Also I notice in the bgen module README it states something about not being mac-specific. This must not be true. I wonder if FlatCarbon headers could be used instead of MacOS9 SDK. I do not have any answers but I too am trying to get up to speed how all this works.

It's referenced here: http://entrian.com/sbwiki/MacOSXPackage and source is available here: http://www.s-j-t.co.uk/SpamBayes/SpamBayesPkg%200.5.zip This contains pmsp which should be upgraded to a pmproj. PackageMaker.app will do this for you. The package maker project is fairly self-explanatory. The Contents Root should probably be changed to a relative path. One thing to take in consideration is that there is a postflight and postinstall scripts that get ran at the appropriate time during the install. They will may be found in the SpamBayesPkg 0.5/ SpamBayes/Package_resources directory. Installer.app knows to run these because of how they are named. The install simply copies the files from what is found in SpamBayes/ Package_contents/ to /. So the three big items that get installed are: /Library/StartupItems/SpamBayes /Library/Python/2.3 /Library/SpamBayes/ The postinstall script adds SPAMBAYES=-YES- to the /etc/hostconfig The postflight script starts SpamBayes (simulating the way this will be done during boot using SystemStarter) and opens the url http:// localhost:8880, presumably where SpamBayes runs.. The binary package here: http://www.s-j-t.co.uk/SpamBayes/SpamBayesPackage.pkg.tgz won't untar for me. It complains about a lone zero block at 678. I get the same error. Must be corrupt.

Any sample codes of something similar? There seems to be more than one approach. Also, I do not mind keeping as an AppleScript in a triple quoted string, but I am onsure how this is done. I am trying to learn how to handle all my communication between Mach- O applications and Python2.3 with AppleEvents, although I do not know where to get started. Are there any tutorials on this topic? I do not want to use any helper modules because I also must stick with just Python2.3. Thanks in Advance.
