2005-07-13 Thread brad . allen
Maybe I should take this to one of  the Twisted or Zope lists, but this appears to be a Mac-specific issue so I thought it worth mentioning here. The problem is that Zope Interface 3.01 won't build on Mac OS 10.3 using either the stock Python 2.3 or Python 2.4.1 (error transcript at the bottom).

I can't speak with any authority on this, but I don't think that PythonCard .81/.82 has been tested against Python 2.4.x. I ran into lots of problems with this and no one on the PythonCard list was able to help me with it, so I ended up continuing to use Python 2.3.5 for PythonCard .81 and .82.

Thanks, Florian, for the instructions on how to convert the new binary plist files into something parseable. I'm wondering if it's going to be possible to bundle this sort of functionality into plistlib. Since PyObjC is needed, I guess the normal plistlib won't be able to do it. Maybe a special
