Hey there.
(1) My employer forces me to work on a MAC, that's a new OS to me. So excuse
me if these questions are stupid. (10.6.8)
(2) I have eclipse, and want to run Python in it. I followed the steps
installing PyDev, no problemo. Now I have to setup the path where the
interpreter is in. And I can't find it. I found 10.000 topics on the net for
this problem, but none solved my issues.
(3) Most of the topics say check /libraries/Python. In this folder I have 3
subfolders, called 2.3, 2.5 and 2.6. These folders contain identical things:
a folder called "site-packages", which contains a readme, which contains
("This directory exists so that 3rd party packages can be installed here.
Read the source for site.py for more details.")
Nothing else.
The PyDev stuff is apparently in my /repast-simphony/eclipse/plugins folder
(in this folder are 5 subfolders called PyDev 2.2.1 etc blablabla and then
debug/fastparser/analysis etc.)
Ok. So how do I find where my Python actually is?
I tried --> python -c "from distutils.sysconfig import get_python_lib; print
get_python_lib()"
which tells me
--> /Library/Python/2.6/site-packages
But that is empty.
In /system/frameworks there is one. That one looks interesting. But no
matter if I choose "Python" (alias, no idea what that means on mac, but it
looks like an executable file) in the main folder, or the other Pythons in
subfolders (e.g. versions/2.6 or versions/current), I receive an unspecific
error which is kind enough to tell me that common problems are using an
unsupported version or specifying an invalid interpreter.
python -c "import sys; print sys.executable"
... points to the folder /usr/bin/python.
(there are also other ones like python 2.6 in that folder)
In eclipse now I enter this path as interpreter, like that:
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/35594260/Bildsc ... .18.31.png
I get this message dialog afterwards (I don't understand this, because this
is EXACTLY the dialog that appears if I do not enter the path manually "new
->", like above, but when I hit "auto config):
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/35594260/Bildsc ... .18.38.png
When I click OK, this error message pops up:
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/35594260/Bildsc ... .18.44.png
I honestly have no idea what to do. Please help.
Thanks
Eiko

The links for dropbox didn't appear, so, it's hard to know what's going on... so, I'm guessing here: mac doesn't provide the .py files for the library, so, you have to either use the interpreter from python.org or grab the .py files from the library and copy them to your mac installation (personally, I always use the version from python.org instead of using the one from the system -- you never know what you may break in the system while developing). If that's not the case, try entering the links in the forum (not sure why the links didn't appear properly in the e-mail).

I did edit the links in the forum, somehow they got cut. The direct link to the thread is: http://old.nabble.com/Help-please%3A-Python%2C-Mac%2C-Eclipse%2C-PyDev-td32236580.html I hope the screenshot will provide enough help to help me ;) Thanks!

It's exactly the use-case I told you before: the python from mac doesn't ship with the .py files (only the .pyc files). PyDev needs those to properly do a bunch of static-code analysis, so, if you can, grab the python version from python.org and use that version (otherwise, grab the version from python.org and just extract the .py files from /Lib over your current installation of python in mac os).

Hey there. I got this first issue fixed now. If you meet people with a similar problem, keep in mind that in the terminal you can just type "which python" ;) ... that will lead you to the source of the python interpreter. I have very basic problems now, which I for some reason am not able to solve with basic FAQs and manuals. Perhaps my questions are too "noobish" ... I am able to create a PyDev project in Eclipse, but since this is my first programming language, I am lost in using Eclipse. What I am looking for is some kind of command line (I used MacTerminal for that, but it's annoying), and also some way to open a new python file, put in code, and run it when I feel like it. How exactly do I do that in Eclipse? Do I need Eclipse for that at all, or are there are "lighter" programs who do that kind of job (command line + editor for files which you can just run)?
