[Pyobjc-dev] Panther crash on extractClasses

[Aaron S. <me...@aa...>]

I compiled the latest snapshot and 1.0b1 on Panther, created an 
instance of the Cocoa-Python template and tried to compile and run it, 
but each time it crashes with a bus error when it gets to 
NibClassBuilder.extractClasses("MainMenu"). Here's the CrashReporter

On a similar note, I'd be interested to know what the differences are 
between Jaguar and Panther; I'm about to get knee-deep in PyObjC for a 
pet project that I've been mulling over for some time. If there are 
problems with building Python-related apps and having them run on both 
10.2 and 10.3, I'd like to know earlier rather than later.

Thanks,

Paul

Of course, why don't you try and compile it and submit some bug reports 
about what works, what error messages come up, etc. and someone will 
try and fix it.  I'm a member of ADC, so I have Panther, but it's not

The methodname doesn't have underscores when using PyObjC, otherwise it 
is almost a normal initialiser. The init method must return self, and 
must call the superclass implementation of init (or technicly the 
'designated initialiser' of the superclass). The following pattern 
should be used for initialisers:

	def init(self):
		self = super(MyClass, self).init()

		# Initialize this instance

		return self

The primairy reason for not using __init__ is that the init method must 
be called explicitly for ObjC objects, have two different, yet simular, 
initialisers would be confusing.

I apologize for not replying sooner.  I just realized that I haven't

Looks cool!  I'm wondering though, isn't it a bit CPU-intensive
to re-process the entire document with every keystroke? ;-)

Is the software itself available?  I use OS X and I'd like to give it
a try.

Are you aware of Gunnar Schwant's DocFactory?  It uses wxPython.

Easy to do with runtime settings.  See "Configuration File Entries" in
<http://docutils.sf.net/docs/tools.html>, specifically "stylesheet"
and "stylesheet_path".  Runtime settings can be passed to Docutils
with "settings" (must be complete), "settings_overrides", and
"settings_spec" parameters to "publish_string".  (Some aspects of this
may change in the near future, when we overhaul config file & runtime
settings handling.)

Also the "Stylesheets" section of "Docutils Front-End Tools" (below
"html.py") may be useful.

 > - suppressing warning messages (e.g. about empty sections)

If the document processing was user-initiated, there would be a lot
less of this.  DocFactory handles system messages in a useful way.

 > - raising visual significance of warning messages (e.g. color, etc.)

That can easily be done with the stylesheet.  (If the top frame is
HTML output, and if it supports CSS stylesheets.)

[Pyobjc-dev] re: NSObject-derived class initialization

[Sean G. <pr...@cf...>]

Hello all,

	If I missed this on some FAQ, sorry.

	I am wondering if there is some preferred way of handling 
initialization of NSObject-derived Python classes in PyObjC?  I am fine 
with calling "object.alloc( ).init( )," is there a way to have a "def 
init( self )" sort of function, that could call a super method at the 
end?  It would be nice if __init__ was still called, but I can see how 
arguments could be made to the contrary.

Thanks,

[Pyobjc-dev] Re: Xcode on Panther

[Dan G. <Le...@Gr...>]

I have been using PyObjC with Xcode on Jaguar without problems.  I 
installed pyobjc by expanding a tar in site-packages.   I tried it 
under Panther and there were major problems with the Python framework.  
Xcode recognized it as a package in the "Add Frameworks" open dialog 
but when it was added it did not show up with a framework icon and 
lot's of files appeared in the target, especially __init__.py multiple 
times.  I tried dragging the PyObjC folder from /S/L/F into the project 
and things got worse, _lots_ of files showed up in the target.

Has anyone else seen these results or found a workaround or have I just 
screwed-up?

Summary: PyObCTools.Conversion inserts NSNulls into generated plists

Initial Comment:
Conversion.py's propertyListFromPythonCollection converts 
None into NSNull. However, NSNull isn't a property list 
type, so the resulting property list is invalid for archiving.

The best way to handle None is best defined by the user 
(empty string, empty data, 0, etc) so the best fix is 
probably just to comment out the lines that handle None. 
This makes the conversion helper function convert None.

The lines are the two starting at 46 of PyObjCTools/
Conversion.py,

    elif aPyCollection is None:
        return NSNull.null()

As posted to cocoa-dev <wink>, I found the problem. It's not just
CFBundlePackageType that was set wrong, but also the type field in

something involving PyObjC since some of the items in the applcation's plist
resource are being changed (particularly the executable and the bundle
package type).  So, I'm posting it here as well.  My apologies if you are on
both lists.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------
I'm building a new Cocoa application using PyObjC.  When running, the icon
appears in the dock correctly, but if the user drags the application icon to
the dock, it will only go in the "document" area, not the "application"
area.

I figure I must have something wrong in my plist, but I don't see it.  I
deleted all other copies of the application and rebooted to ensure that it
was using these definitions.  Here is the plist definition from my build.py:

infoPlist = Plist(
    CFBundleDevelopmentRegion='English',
    CFBundleExecutable='python',
    CFBundleGetInfoString='Goombah 0.2',
    CFBundleHelpBookFolder='Goombah Help',
    CFBundleHelpBookName='Goombah Help',
    CFBundleIconFile='Goombah.icns',
    CFBundleIdentifier='com.transpose.goombah',
    CFBundleInfoDictionaryVersion='6.0',
    CFBundleName='Goombah',
    CFBundlePackageType='APPL',
    CFBundleShortVersionString='0.2',
    CFBundleSignature='????',
    CFBundleVersion='Pre-Release',

    NSHumanReadableCopyright='Copyright 2003 Transpose, LLC  All rights
reserved.',
    NSMainNibFile='MainMenu',
    NSPrincipalClass='NSApplication'
)


I notice that when I open the application file with Property List Editor,
that the CFBundlePackageType appears as 'BNDL', but when I change it to
'APPL' with Property List Editor and reboot, there is no improvement - the
user still cannot drag the application onto the dock, except in the
"document" section.

What do I need to do?

[Pyobjc-dev] RegexPlor 0.5

[Dinu G. <gh...@da...>]

Well, sorry for spamming again... 0.5 now has simple splitting and
replacing functionality, maybe not ideal in detail, but quite con-
sistently combined with the other actions (match, search, etc.):

   http://python.net/~gherman/tmp/RegexPlor1.jpg
   http://python.net/~gherman/tmp/RegexPlor.tar.gz

Probably needs something new for (possibly named) groups... which
might cause trouble in the current "findall" functionality..., BTW.

Also, I'm not sure if I can rely on the existanceof the sre module
(which I'm using for getting at the re syntax overview docstring)
in all versions of Python that might be installed?

Comments welcome!

Regards,

Dinu

As might be expected, I would like to see the change and now seems like 
a good time.

BTW, I did not use getNumberOfRows_columns_(), I used numberOfRows() 
and numberOfColumns() so nothing breaks for me. :-)

In fact, for RegexPlor I'm using the following without even having
run into getNumberOfRows_columns_:

   cols = mat.numberOfColumns()
   rows = mat.numberOfRows()

As long as everything is nicely documented: go ahead!

For me the alternatives were 'change it now' and 'never change it', 
with a +1 on the first alternative.

I've just checked in the relevant changes.

Re: [Pyobjc-dev] GNUstep support

There is little change that you'll get the Linux part to work without a 
lot of work, the issue below is just the first and easiest problem. We 
currently do not support GNUstep and the code will not compile on 
GNUstep systems. Getting it to work requires writing some low-level 
functions to interface with the Objective-C runtime for GNUstep 
(actually the GNU runtime for Objective-C, as opposed to the Apple/NeXT 
one on MacOS X). While I'd like to have GNUstep support I currently 
don't care enough to perform the port myself, but enough to not rip the 
partial GNUstep support out.

The easiest way to work around this problem is to modify setup.py and 
make sure it doesn't call this script when on a GNUstep system. We have 
some (old) wrappers for the AppKit and Foundation frameworks that 
should work on GNUstep and those will automaticly be picked up when 
compiling the bridge.

sw_vers is an OSX tool that solves the problem that 'uname -a' doesn't 
show usefull version information on OSX machines. Just like on Linux 
machines 'uname' shows the kernel version, which has no documented 
relation to the OS release.

Our non-support for GNUstep is prominently featured on the website. 
IMHO the best way to proceed with a port to GNUstep would be to ignore 
the 'cocoa_generator.py' issues for now and try to get the core going 
first. This requires the implementation of a number of functions, IIRC 
in class-builder.m and objc_support.m. Some OSX-specific stuff may have 
crept into the code, that would require fixing as well.

Good luck,
	Ronald

I worked around this by putting the same os checking code into=20
cocoa_generator.py as is in setup.py.  It now only tries to call sw_vers on=

OSX machines.  The next snag I ran into was farther down, where=20
cocoa_generator tries to run various commands 1) on OSX only things like=20
WebKit and AddressBook, but also 2) in an OSX specfic manner=20
(/System/Library/Frameworks, etc).  I now have it checking for GNUstep and=

adjusting accordingly.  My hacked cocoa_generator available upon request. =
=20
The only garuntee is that it works for me :-)

Now that it's getting to the actual build, I'm hitting the same snag I get=

when trying to build ocunit, namely that Gnu/GCC 3.3 doesn't ship with=20
objc/runtime.h, or various other .h files that are apparently available in=

OSX (objc/objc-class.h specifically).  This breaks any calls to=20
class_add_method_list or (in ocunit) class_getClassMethod.  Now, Marco=20

as of yet (this only came up last week, so I'm not crying foul).

So, any suggestions?  I'm in no rush, so I can afford to spend the time to=
