[Pyqt-mac-list] ImportError: Inappropriate file type for dynamic loading

[Patrick S. <pat...@gm...>]

After building PyQt4 on OS X, I get this error for

import qt

and

from PyQt4 import *

I've got fink qt3 installed. Any ideas?

[Pyqt-mac-list] ImportError: Inappropriate file type for dynamic loading

[Patrick S. <pat...@gm...>]

I had everything working with standard OS X python2.3, but started getting
this error after trying to install with python2.4.2 from source, and also
with python.org's 2.4.1 binaries.

patrickkidd:~/Desktop/PyQt4-gpl-snapshot-20060314 patrick$ python
Python 2.4.1 (#2, Mar 31 2005, 00:05:10)
[GCC 3.3 20030304 (Apple Computer, Inc. build 1666)] on darwin
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import PyQt4.QtGui
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
ImportError: Inappropriate file type for dynamic loading
>>>

Now I can't get it working anywhere. I'm sure this has something to do with
the mkspec build profile (of which I'm using macx-g++). After looking in th=
e
python source, this error is raised when the interpreter attempts to open a
file as a shared library anf failes with a "not approriate" kind of error.
Anyway, I get this in a few other places on my mac as well, and it would be
nice to sort out. I built qt-4.1.1 from source with ./configure -qt-gif.

- OS X python-2.4.1 binaries from python.org
- python.org tiger fix
- qt-4.1.1
- latest snapshots of sip and PyQt4

After hours of frustrating madness, I've finally realized that you can't us=
e
pyqt4 with MacPython-2.4.1 or python-2.4.2 from source. Everything works
fine with the MacPython-2.3.5 installed with tiger, as long as qt is
configured with -no-framework.

Is there some dynamic library config option on python-2.4.2 that will fix
this?

.and to think all that was because unittest.TestCase.assertTrue doesn't
exist in 2.3. geeze...

I am using PyQt4-snapshot* against a from-source python-2.4.2 on OS X.

Check that your DYNLOADFILE isn't defaulting to something like  
dyn_next.o.  You can see configure report the use of dyn_next, so  
it's easy to test early in the build process.  I hacked around this  
and promptly forgot my solution, but I was later able to provide the  
hint to a coworker and he now reports that you'll need to do a
	DYNLOADFILE=dyn_shlib.o ./configure --enable-framework --enable- 
toolbox-glue --enable-shared ...

Thanks to Phil and the group for the software and support,

excellent! I'll give that a whack.

having one machine with 2.3 was causing me to write more compliant code, bu=
t
oh well...I want subprocess!
