Re: [Pyobjc-dev] Installing pyobjc?

SourceForge Headquarters 1320 Columbia Street Suite 310 San Diego, CA 92101 +1 (858) 422-6466

Further, using MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET=10.5 would appear to require a
python that's built using that also, at least for virtualenv (see
below for what I'm seeing)

Does anyone have tips on installing pyobjc in a virtualenv?

Or for that matter, what's the best way to install it for developing a
py2app based app that'll use it? I don't require virtualenv - in fact,
if I could just get a .egg of pyobjc and its wrappers, that'd work
fine for me…

% export MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET=10.5
% virtualenv PYOBJCTEST

A number of people have mentioned that installing this using "easy_install pyobjc" won't work. I tend to install manually (first install pyobjc-core, then install pyobjc-framework-Cocoa, then install the other framework wrappers you need) and haven't had time to look into this issue.
