Hi Borys, Thank you for your detailed explanation of the problem. I can understand it better now. And yes, I did not properly encode it with "u'...'" in the first place.

I patched SIP to compile as a bundle, with no direct link to Python.
Rebuild PyQt and it followed. Rebuild Qgis, and the qgis-python

are also now correct.
Then, changed libqgispython to drop the full path to Python binary
(I built
with system Python).
Glad to hear that! Thanks for the effort!
I didn't find a way to submit a bug report with Riverbank, so I left a
patch on their mailing list. No reply so far, so I don't know if
anyone is looking at it.
For those Mac users that want to try it themselves (compile from
source, that is), here is what I did:
You must start over with SIP to get the changes to trickle into PyQt
and Qgis. In the SIP source, siputils.py,
ModuleMakefile().finalise(), change:
self.LFLAGS.append("-F%s" % string.join(dl, os.sep))
self.LFLAGS.append("-framework Python")
to:
self.LFLAGS.append("-undefined dynamic_lookup")
Then reconfigure and compile SIP (with the build instructions in the
Qgis wiki). Then reconfigure and compile PyQt.
Now configure, compile and install Qgis.
Finally fix the Qgis python library link - assuming you configured for
the default /Applications prefix:
sudo install_name_tool -change /path/to/python/framework
Python.framework/Versions/2.5/Python /Applications/qgis1.0.0.app/
Contents/MacOS/lib/libqgispython.dylib
You can check the python path as compiled with:
otool -L /Applications/qgis1.0.0.app/Contents/MacOS/lib/
libqgispython.dylib
Note: there is no point to do this for Python 2.6 - the system doesn't
have it. And if you change it to Python.framework/Python with the
thought of catching the _current_ version, you run the risk of binary
incompatibilities if Qgis finds a different Python version than
compiled with.

There will be quite some changes for core library. As there should be stable API for 1.x releases, we will have to integrate new features with care. Some things will be maybe shifted to 2.0 release if it won't be possible to integrate them to 1.x branch. Briefly what's planned for new renderer implementation: - multi-layer symbols (the greatest change) - more symbol layer types - e.g. simple line, marker line ... - rendering with special order (to allow drawing good-looking roads with outline) - rendering is done directly in renderer, not in vector layer - catalog of symbology I don't know whether it will be "compatible" with SLD specification, I'm not very familiar with it...

[Qgis-user] uncheck editing tool (python plugin)
Hi all! I'm currently trying to uncheck an editing tool icon with my python plugin. The following code works for non editing tools like zoom and pan: mc = self.iface.mapCanvas() layer = mc.currentLayer() tool = mc.mapTool() mc.unsetMapTool(tool) After this snippet, if the current tool is an non editing tool (e.g pan or identify), there is no functionality and the icons are unchecked. (That's what I want) If I do the same for an editing tool (e.g capture polygon) as current tool, the functionality has also gone but the icon is still checked. Has anybody a hint how I may uncheck editing icons (like it is when you change from pan to capture an vice versa)?

[Qgis-user] Still having Proxy Problems
Hi all, I am still having proxy problems. I am using the latest SVN trunk version. I came across this thread at http://www.nabble.com/QGis-proxy-settings-td20127464.html - my conclusion was that the proxy problems should be solved by now - but it still doesn't work for me. The proxy at our local city government is squid/2.6.STABLE16 - I need to authenticate with user and password. The proxy is on port 8080. Unfortunately there is no way to convince our provider to get rid of this proxy. They do their provider services not only for our city but many others as well. Is the patch mentioned in the above thread now in the SVN trunk? If yes, I wonder why it still doesn't work for me? I tested on both Linux (SVN trunk) and Windows (Preview 2) Thank you for any ideas an what I could do to fix the problem.

[Qgis-user] psycopg2 and Plugin Distribution on Windows
Hi QGIS Python developers, I have written a Python QGIS Plugin that relies on psycopg2 (with Marco Hugentoblers help). The plugin was developed on Linux but now needs to be distributed on Windows and OSX. I created a local plugin repository for this purpose. However, if I try to install it on a Windows machine I get the error: "No module named psycopg2". Now I wonder how I can distribute psycopg2 along with the plugin. Can I package psycopg2 for several platforms along with my plugin zip file?
