Re: [Pythonmac-SIG] Zope py2app, some progress

So don't bother building a 10.3 version. The 10.2 version should work fine. That is what was tried first - we don't want the extra work! I don't know what the issue was, but there was some incompatibility. Did you know py2app had a --strip option, which does strip -x -S? Nope. The way this wo

Every option py2app takes is documented: python setup.py py2app --help I started at http://pythonmac.org/wiki/py2app It would probably be helpful to add the above output to that page. You're probably not setting the right plist keys or something for Apple's help. The documentation doesn't make it

Probably because it doesn't have drivers for them. If there's no matching driver, it won't pull up a useful nub to stick on it. The right thing happens in the end. There is no need for drivers on some interfaces, and they must be used on others (eg ones that implement the USB modem protocol or t

[Pythonmac-SIG] Discovering file type

I need to write a function that gets a filepath and gives back what kind of file is that in a consistent way. I thought i could use my beloved old TYPE and CREATOR, then I realized that in MacOS X not every file has got them. So i can check both the extension and the HFSFileType. Still i need a

I found a type script that mimics the file command in unix. It uses 'magic' to figure out the type -- where magic is a code in most files that identify what it is. So I would google for those pieces of info and your bound to come up with it. Mine is heavily hacked up for my purposes so mine

That's extremely helpful. I'd downloaded the setup script before and planned to study it -- now I'll go back to it. (Wish it did the py2app stuff, for self-pedagogical reasons -- but py2app does make things easier rather than harder.) And for me at least, the slide-show gives quite useful overv
