Re: [Plone-Users] buildout and PIL on OS X

[rik <ri...@co...>]

another reprise on approx the same theme:  I am also on an i386 mac, running
10.4,
had a zope/plone working from the universal installer.  but i am trying to 
get modern using buildout,  generic easy_setup, etc, ala:

$ sudo python ez_setup.py -U setuptools
$ sudo easy_install -U ZopeSkel
$ paster create -t plone3_buildout zopebo
$ cd zopebo
$ python bootstrap.py
$ ./bin/buildout
$ ./bin/instance fg

* generated errors like:

> 2008-08-08 13:31:17 ERROR PortalTransforms Problem importing module
> image_to_png : No module named PIL.Image
> 2008-08-08 13:31:17 ERROR PortalTransforms Problem importing module
> image_to_gif : No module named PIL.Image
> ...

* attempting to use easy_install for PIL

* so there seems to be some PPC/i386 library conflict? but i knew i had
  the (i386-compile version of) PIL that came as part of Plone's
  universal distribution, and that worked fine.  so, i simply COPIED 
  the  PILwoTk-1.1.6.3-py2.4-macosx-10.3-i386.egg directory
  from /opt/Plone-3.1/Python-2.4/lib/python2.4/site-packages/
  to
/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.4/lib/python2.4/site-packages/

  then i also added the line:
  ./PILwoTk-1.1.6.3-py2.4-macosx-10.3-i386.egg
  to easy-install.pth (also in .../site-packages)

* definitely a hack, and i am bothered by the PPC/i386 library
  conflict issue. as mentioned above, a better solution may involve explicit
inclusion of
  PIL (and zlib, libjpeg) as part of the buildout.cfg,
  maybe using Macports (i have been using fink, and don't have
  experience with macports).  and/or more complete insulation of the
  easy_install/buildout/zope/plone python environment from the OSX
  python specifics, via chroot
  (cf. http://transcyberia.info/archives/12-chroot-plone-buildouts.html)
  virtualenv with the "--no-site-packages" option, ...

but it seems to be working!
