[Pythonmac-SIG] Status of PyObjC port to Intel OS X
Does anyone know what that status is of porting PyObjC to run on the new Intel Macs? I know that there has already been some amount of work done, but my attempts to run it on the new platform have failed. Should I be trying to be digging deeper into what I might be doing wrong, or is the port not complete?

I have been able to my small projects on my Intel-based MacBook Pro without incident. So while that doesn't mean the port is perfect, it is fairly complete and solid. There are a few endian issue in a few dark corners of the port which are being found and fixed. A bit more specificity on the problems you are encountering on the Intel platform you didn't with the power-pc platform would be helpful. It is hard to address a general complaint/query without specifics. Further, remember, no port is perfect--there are always bugs which decline in number and the frequency with which they are encountered but some are always there they are just the more obscure ones.

The current version in subversion should work correctly, PyObjC's unittests also run the unittests for libffi and all except two of those pass. The tests that fail have to do with very small structures (1 or 2 bytes in size) and those aren't used in Cocoa APIs. If you do find something that doesn't work as expected in PyObjC or py2app I'm definitely interested to here about it. A small program that demonstrates the problem would make it easier to reproduce any problems, and hence increase the likelyhood of timely fixes.

The binary package at http://pythonmac.org/packages/py24-fat/ is recent too, I updated it a day or two ago. -bob ___ Pythonmac-SIG maillist - Pythonmac-SIG@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/pythonmac-sig
