[Pyobjc-dev] PyObjC CGPoint error in CGEventCreateMouseEvent

[Pepijn de V. <pep...@gm...>]

Hi all,

I finally managed to get listening to events working, the code is at http://github.com/pepijndevos/PyMouse/blob/master/mac.py#L30
I don't know what made the difference, but after a lot of trying it suddenly worked.

Now I have another strange issue.
When I run the default Python and PyObjC version that came with Mac OS X 10.6, Python segfaults while creating an event tap.
When I run Python26 and PyObjC from Macports the event system works fine, but making an event breaks the location.

Stock Python:

>>> from Quartz import *
>>> def test(*args):
...     print args
... 
>>> tap = CGEventTapCreate(
...             kCGSessionEventTap,
...             kCGHeadInsertEventTap,
...             kCGEventTapOptionDefault,
...             CGEventMaskBit(kCGEventMouseMoved) |
...             CGEventMaskBit(kCGEventLeftMouseDown) |
...             CGEventMaskBit(kCGEventLeftMouseUp) |
...             CGEventMaskBit(kCGEventRightMouseDown) |
...             CGEventMaskBit(kCGEventRightMouseUp) |
...             CGEventMaskBit(kCGEventOtherMouseDown) |
...             CGEventMaskBit(kCGEventOtherMouseUp),
...             test)
Segmentation fault

Macports Python:

>>> from Quartz import *
>>> event = CGEventCreateMouseEvent(None, 3, CGPoint(200, 200), 1)
>>> CGEventGetLocation(event)
<NSPoint x=13510801139695616.0 y=6.953222975623699e-310>

Also the stock version of CGEventTapCreate needs 5 parameters while the Macports version needs 6.

Macports version of PyObjC is 2.2
Included version should be 2.2b3 according to a blog I found.

Groeten,
