[Pythoncard-users] Mac resourceEditor/layoutEditor won't launch

[Brad A. <bra...@ma...>]

I've gotten back into trying to get my PythonCard app to run on Mac, 
and find myself getting stuck on launching resourceEditor.py or 
layoutEditory.py.  The problem seems like it should be easy to solve; 
I must be missing something obvious.

I installed PythonCard .82 using "sudo python setup.py" install, 
where Python is the built-in Python 2.3.5 bundled with Mac OS 10.4.x 
(Tiger). I have wxPython 2.6.3 installed but PythonCard seems to 
ignore it and use the 2.5.3 bundled version of wx.

The problem seems to be with importing the module "helpful" within 
PythonCard. Here is the transcript:

oms-ballen:/Library/Python/2.3/site-packages/PythonCard/tools/resourceEditor 
ballen$ pythonw resourceEditor.py
wx.PlatformInfo: ('__WXMAC__', 'wxMac', 'unicode', 'wx-assertions-on')
wx.VERSION: (2, 5, 3, 1, '')
Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "resourceEditor.py", line 20, in ?
     from modules import backgroundInfoDialog
   File 
"/Library/Python/2.3/site-packages/PythonCard/tools/resourceEditor/modules/backgroundInfoDialog.py", 
line 7, in ?
     from PythonCard import dialog, model, util, helpful
ImportError: cannot import name helpful
oms-ballen:/Library/Python/2.3/site-packages/PythonCard/tools/resourceEditor 
ballen$ python

>>>  import PythonCard.helpful
Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
ImportError: No module named helpful
>>>  ^D


-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=--=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-


If I change directory to the "site-packages", I can import 
PythonCard.helpful. However, I still can't launch resourceEditor.py 
or layoutEditor.py


oms-ballen:/Library/Python/2.3/site-packages/PythonCard/tools/resourceEditor 
ballen$ cd ../..
oms-ballen:/Library/Python/2.3/site-packages/PythonCard ballen$ cd ..

Thanks for any help you provide on this!

Brad,

i hope you have already solved this problem. I use PythonCard don Mac  
also. The key for me is to make sure that the correct wxPython is  
installed directly in my site-packages directory of the version of  
Python I am using and that PythonCard is installed in that same site- 
packages directory. Still, if that isn't enough, you might need to  
install a clean Python, wxPython, PythonCard setup. That always seems  
to work. Once your installation is working, PythonCard is flawless  
son the Mac.



By the way, I just did a brief PythonCard podcast, including using  
Kevin's PyCon 2005 talk on Python411 at www.awaretek.com/python/ 
index.html

I wrote to Brad off-list, and we got his problem fixed (he had an 
earlier version of PythonCard checked out from CVS, and it came earlier 
in his sys.path, so was being used in preference to his regular 
PythonCard install).

Sorry, we should have reported back to the list so that solution was 
available to others.
