I think it's safe to say that PyQt on the Mac is a bit fragile. The
version of Eric that I bundled is quite old (2.4, released in May 2004;
it's up to 2.61 now) as more recent versions are very crash-prone or
won't even run.

Given that PyQt has so many moving parts, when I got everything built
and just running without crashes, I decided to leave it alone rather
than track the updates in sip, PyQt, and Eric. I'll do another package
once Qt/4 is out, and the bugs have been reported. Perhaps that will be
more optimized for the Mac; certainly Qt 3 is far from perfect in this
regard.

[Pyqt-mac-list] Re: Pyqt-mac-list digest, Vol 1 #6 - 3 msgs

[Jay M. <jm...@ua...>]

Good evening and Happy Holidays;

Well both of you ( Kevin and Bob) were evidently correct.
I redid my OSx installation - left the apple python install alone and  
everything works fine.
I will keep my meathooks from tampering with things for awhile but  
seriously thanks much for your help.

Re: [Pythonmac-SIG] Re: [Pyqt-mac-list] Re: Eric 3

[Brian M. <bri...@gm...>]

Jay,

I am afraid Bob is right about reinstall of Panther to get Apple's  
version of Python working. I remember looking through the install CD's  
to see if I could find the python package but I think it is in the BSD  
subsystem and cannot be installed separately ? I did the same thing as  
you and originally tried to rely on the Fink version (for ZEM), but it  
did not work and I had to reinstall Apple's python.

I ran into this problem trying to get ZopeEditManager working (a python  
- pyobjc app). Zachery Bir, the developer of that package told me that  
it probably would not work without Apple's version of python. It seems  
a little brittle to me because I thought one could download the newest  
version of Python, add the necessary modules and have a working system,  
but apparently the windowing system for a python/Aqua app relies on  
Apple's framework version of python. It was true for the pyobjc app and  
now seems to be true for a PyQt app. The symptom you mentioned sounds  
the same. That of double clicking the app and seeing the icon zoom out  
like it is going to open and then nothing happens. Nothing shows up in  
the dock.

It is a big pain to reinstall and then do all of the updates, but it  
might be worth a try. Eric WILL work for you eventually but I think you  
are going to have to use Apple's python.

Good luck (and happy holiday everyone),

Brian

P.S. Kevin - I noticed that my emails to the list are not showing up in  
the threads in the Mail app. Do I need to CC myself or something to  
keep the threads in order ?

Thanks

And yet, you caused them.  This is probably the root if your problem.   
Messing with files in /System or /usr (except for /usr/local) is a  
recipe for disaster.  There's always a better way to "replace"  
something, usually as simple as just putting /usr/local/bin (or other)  
early on in your PATH.

My suggestion:  Reinstall OS X, and don't screw it up this time.

What the heck is site-packages doing in sys.path?

You should basically never set PYTHONPATH

running $PATH?  What the heck?  If you mean typing just $PATH at a bash

supposed to do anything useful.

This looks right enough.  Typically DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH is a terrible,  
awful, evil thing to do, but that's how Qt works.

Jay,

Your path looks correctly set up to me. If you have the Pythonmac
extensions installed, that's important, as my Eric3 app bundle actually
makes use of the Python interpreter embedded in the PythonIDE. (That
will be corrected in the next release of the entire package.) Therefore,
it's not clear to me why Eric3 isn't seeing the Qt module, assuming that
you're running the Eric3 version from /Applications.

I'm wondering if the problem is, in fact, because you replaced the Apple
- -installed version of Python with your own framework build. My package
assumes the standard Apple installation, and I believe the PyQt source
assumes this also. I'm not an expert on the internals of framework
builds of Python, but my understanding is that ripping out Apple's build
of Python can break things in unexpected ways.

I'm copying my reply to the PythonMac and PyKDE lists: perhaps Jack
Jansen (MacPython maintainer) or Phil Thompson (PyQt author) can shed
more light on that aspect of your problem.

I'll also see if I can find out more on my end.

Regards,
Kevin

Did you set $QTDIR in your path? I think that's necessary for PyQt to
know where to look for Qt. It's not just looking for qt.py, it's looking
for the Qt libraries.

I've looked at my files, and it appears that my installer did not
include the documentation. The Qt docs are easily downloaded from
Trolltech, though, and one can easily create the directory in
/Developer/Docoumentation/qt, so I'm not inclined to put together
another whole installer. I probably will update the instructions on the
website on how to get the docs, however. Look for that, and a general
announcement, in the next couple of days. I'll also make a note to
myself to include the docs for the next release of this package
(probably after Qt 4 is released and Riverbank updates its packages
accordingly).

Re: [Pyqt-mac-list] eric

[Brian M. <bri...@gm...>]

I have not had a problem with missing documentation, although I have 
had a problem or two with the general install. For example, I did not 
have a qtconfig.app until I recently reinstalled everything. But all is 
well now and I think my problems were due to having Fink's version of 
qt3 installed.

I suspect the reason Eric is not opening is because there are 
multi-versions of Python installed. I think it is worthwhile to run a 
'which python' to see where it is pointing. I had problems like Jay 
described with ZopeEditManager not properly opening unless it was using 
Apple's version of python (and pythonw).

Since Fink installs python for other applications to work properly, 
there may be problems there. I have a link from /sw/bin/python that 
points to my /usr/bin/python which in turn points to the python2.3 
version inside of 
/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.3/bin/python. I 
did not create any of the links inside of /usr/bin because the Apple 
install of python took care of those.

Another thing to check is your $PATH environment variable. Perhaps one 
of the other directories containing python comes before Apple's 
version. (the 'which python' will help with this, but it might be 
worthwhile running a $PATH at the command prompt just to make sure)

Last, but not least. Although I am interested in developing 
applications for both Aqua and X11, after a few other problems with 
having both Fink's version of qt3 and Kevin's binary install for Aqua, 
I have removed the Fink version. I think I will add another user and 
then use that user account for any Qt/X11 development.

What are other people on the list doing to have both versions coexist ?

HTH,

Brian

Brian,

Thanks for documenting this--I'm glad it worked for you. You're right, a
Fink install of Qt can make things a little hairy. My workaround for
this is to comment out the "source /sw/bin/init.sh" line that Fink uses
to get it loaded onto your PATH: if that is not commented out, then
$QTDIR will point to /sw rather than /Developer/qt. That's another
approach to try as well, for anyone who's interested.

[Pyqt-mac-list] Problem compiling the Postgresql database adaptor (solved)

[Brian M. <bri...@gm...>]

Hi Kevin,

Thanks for the reply - so I finally got it working and all is well in 
the Aqua environment. I thought I would write up my experience in case 
anyone else has a similar problem getting the database adaptors to show 
up in Qt Designer.

My main problem was a combination of the Fink QT installation crossing 
with your binary installation. Somehow it was pulling some pieces from 
the Fink install and including them with the /Developer/qt install.

Two things needed to be done for me to successfully compile the 
postgresql adaptor for Aqua. First, I removed all things Qt from the 
Fink environment (except qt3-shlibs, because kde depends on them). 
Secondly, I needed to set an environment variable called QMAKESPEC in 
my ~/.profile. I set it to QMAKESPEC=darwin-g++. I just added it to the 
other Qt environment variables that you mentioned in the instructions. 
Don't forget to add it to the export line.

Then I followed the directions in the Qt Users Manual about compiling 
the SQL drivers.

My postgresql installation (just configured - not installed - in order 
to supply the necessary header files) was installed in /Users/Shared/. 
My regular postgresql installation was in /usr/local/pgsql/ (I 
typically install from source). After navigating to the source files 
for the sql drivers (/Developer/qt/plugins/src/sqldrivers/psql) I was 
ready for the qmake command.

qmake -o Makefile 
"INCLUDEPATH+=/Users/Shared/postgresql-7.4.6/src/include 
/Users/Shared/postgresql-7.4.6/src/interfaces/libpq" 
"LIBS+=-L/usr/local/pgsql/lib -lpq" psql.pro

Then use 'make' to install it (automatically) in the plugins directory. 
Open Qt Designer > Database Connections and with any luck, you should 
see the postgresql adaptor in the drop down menu.

Phew !! I am happy to say I have all the pieces to make PyQt database 
applications...finally.

Thanks again for putting together all the pieces to make this happen.

[Pyqt-mac-list] SQL classes/Qt-Mac

[Kevin W. <sw...@wo...>]

Hi Brian,

I built Qt-Mac with dynamic rather than static libraries--you should 
probably try building the Qt SQL modules as a dynamic library. (I don't 
think plug-ins work with static library.) You may want to consult 
TrollTech's documentation for more info--there's a large section there 
on the Qt SQL modules. (I'm not an expert, alas.)

[Pyqt-mac-list] Trouble with qt-postgresql

[Brian M. <bri...@gm...>]

Hi folks,

I've installed the binary distribution of PyQt, Eric, etc.. Thanks very 
much, it works great.

I want to use the SQL portion of the QT libraries but I am having 
trouble compiling a version that shows up in the Designer SQL 
Connection dialog box. It will compile into an *.so and it installs 
itself into the 'plugins' directory, but it will not show up in the 
connection box. Do I need to compile a shared library instead and if 
so, does anyone have any clues on how to do that ?

Thanks very much,

Brian
