I'm no Mac/Python expert but I seem to recall the MacPython web page had 
info on how to create a Mac App bundle that avoided the need to
use AppleScript etc. It was all about the file structure and the config 
information.


But it was a wee while ago and I may be imagining it... :-)

I will go with that for now. My python script is using a bunch of relative
paths so I added this before the script:

if sys.platform=="darwin":

os.chdir(os.path.expanduser("~/myfolder/"))
I will try to see if there's something like "inno setup" to make an
installer. If anyone have something to recommend for this i'm interested.

Thanks Ramit and all.

You can try using locate or find, but any usage of this is probably system 
specific and prone to bugs. If you have the option to "install" something you 
can try setting an environment variable with the location of myapp.py. It is 
probably easiest to keep myapp.py in the home directory (or subdirectory of it) 
and say "python ~/myapp.py" (or "python ~/.roadierich/myapp.py) from the 
applescript

It looks like your script is being found fine, meaning the problem lies 
elsewhere - unless your actual app is called "avcOsxLinux.py, and you missed 
renaming it in the error message.  Try adding a print statement as the very 
first line - before any imports - to test this.

The only reference to that filename is a french audio-visual library, which 
might not be installed on your target system.

When I double click on the AppleScript the terminal opens with

$ python myapp.py
$ python: can't open file 'avcOsxLinux.py': [Errno 2] No such file or
directory

myapp.py and the AppleScript are both in the same directory. If I open
manually a shell in this directory "python myapp.py" works.

It all seems like the Python invoked in the AppleScript have his current
directory in root (and not the folder where i'm executing the AppleScript).
I don't see how I can change this from the AppleScript or simply find a
general solution to execute a .py script on Mac within the constrains I
mentioned above.

Do you mean that AppleScript can't find the file, or that Python can't 
find the file?


Please don't summarize or paraphrase errors. Please copy and paste the 
EXACT error message that is shown.


If this is a problem with AppleScript being unable to find the file, you 
will be better off asking on an AppleScript mailing list.


In general, on Unix-like systems (and that includes Mac OS X), you can't 
expect a command like:


python myapp.py

to work unless myapp.py is in the current directory.

[Tutor] [OSX] "Executable" .py or pyc script (stuck at Applescript)

[learner404]

Hello list!

- myapp.py is in a "myfolder" folder that the "users" will be able to
download and put anywhere on their Mac.

- users don't have any Python knowledge and I have no idea if there's a
python launcher on their mac

=> trying to make an applescript file in the folder right next to myapp.py

I tried and failed at :

*tell* *application* "Terminal"

*do script* "python myapp.py"# tried also with ./myapp.py

*end* *tell*

or

do shell script "python myapp.py" # tried also with ./myapp.py


In both cases OSX complains it can't find the file. It works though if I
give the full path but I can't do that since I have no idea where the
folder will be on their macs.

With Applescript how would write it  so that Python starts in the
application folder? (myapp.py & "myfolder")

Any other way to do it maybe knowing my constraints above? (I tried py2app
but it failed on wxpython on my Lion with Apple Python that I need to use)

Thanks!
