[Pyqt-mac-list] PyQt & Python 2.4.1

Hi everyone,

Since I have been able to build PyQt against Python 2.4.1 on Tiger, is
there any interest in an installer package for that? I could put
together a metapackage installer that would break out the Qt bits, so
anyone who already had Qt installed could omit that. Same for Eric3, in
case you didn't want to install it.

Let me know. Thanks.

Hi Kevin,

I've been building the snapshots, as Detlev releases them, just using  
'python install eric3' in the main directory of the snapshot. I  
assume it is using my PyQT version that I previously downloaded from  
you (the binary installer).

Although I've been interested in Eric3's progress, it still crashes  
as often as it always has. It's kind of a bummer because lately I've  
been fooling around with Ruby on Rails and Eric3 supports Ruby syntax  
also. I would love to see Eric stable. I've been thinking of  
outfitting one of the old computers in the basement to run Debian or  
one of the BSD's to see if Eric is more stable on Linux.

When I check the crash reports on my Tiger box, it is the same one  
that we've discussed here on the list.
Exception:  EXC_BAD_ACCESS (0x0001)
Codes:      KERN_INVALID_ADDRESS (0x0001) at 0xda800000

I don't know enough to help troubleshooting any of these problems and  
I wonder if it is OSX, or QT or Python or Eric ?

Getting back to your original question about bundling another  
installer. I think it is easy enough to simply build Eric3 from  
Detlev's site and until we make some progress on the stability of  
Eric, you probably should not have to go to the trouble of putting  
everything together.

I do think that when Qt4 comes out and all of the other pieces that  
make up Eric, it would be nice to simply download a binary package.

My 0.02,

Brian

It is. I've been using it on Linux for approx. a year now - and I don't 
remember when it crashed the last time. It certainly is a very 
productive environment for me - especially as I use it for developing Qt 
apps.

My impression is that the Qt/PyQt for mac is the problem. E.g. the 
qt-designer itself behaves sometimes weird. The display order of MDI 
windows sometimes seems to be faulty - I can't bring a background window 
to front. I've seen similar stuff in my PyQt apps - especially 
QWorkSpace gives me trouble: I can use "full-screen" display of my MDI 
windows, but when cascading them they all get iconified.

Diez

I'm pretty new on this - how do you do such stuff? py2app?

py2app is more for packaging standalone applications with all the
libraries, extensions and such included. The package installer
(packagemaker) creates a hierarchy of folders that mirrors the install
target (main application in /Applications, frameworks in
/Library/Frameworks, etc.), then installs these in the correct location
on the end user's machine. I use the "build applet" method of
bundlebuilder, the older way to package application bundles with
MacPython, to create app bundles with PyQt libraries being installed
externally.
