I hope someone with Mac experience can help me. I've prepared an installer for a significant update VPython 5.3 but am unable to make an installer for the Mac. Thanks to Kadir Haldenbilen, VPython 5.3 provides extrudable 3D text of any True Type font, which is very cool. This requires some extra modules beyond numpy, and these should be included in the installer for ease of use. Each of these modules has a folder of .py files plus an egg-info file that needs to be at the same level as the folder. In PackageMaker I list the egg-info files as usual, but alas PackageMaker creates an installer which when run places these egg-info files inside folders with the same name as the egg-info file, minus the ".egg-info" extension. This doesn't cause problems with numpy, but with one of the other modules it causes Python to fail to find modules inside the module folder. I of course Googled a bit without finding any information on this. It's frustrating that in PackageMaker I give a destination like .....site-packages/xxx.egg-info but it goes into .....site-packages/xxx/xxx.egg-info. Experimentally, if I move the egg-info file up one level, VPython 5.3 works fine. I cannot find any switches in PackageMaker to prevent this bizarre behavior. I also tried chmod-ing the egg-info files to match the permissions on the numpy egg-info file, but that didn't help. AAARRRGGGHHH!!! HELLLLLLLP! Bruce Sherwood |

I'm not working from a command line; I have no experience with that. I'm using PackageMaker. So I don't know how to answer your questions.

Hi Bruce, I'm not sure why Package Manager is having trouble with your filenames/ directories.. I'll try to see if I can figure that out, however I do know it's possible to have PackageManager run scripts after the files are extracted. Maybe a little python script could just "fix things up" afterwards. I'll try to look into that as well. -steve On Mar 29, 2010, at 9:23 PM, Bruce Sherwood wrote: > I'm not working from a command line; I have no experience with that. > I'm > using PackageMaker.

Also.. I see there is a command line version of the installer tool with a "verbose" option. It might give some clues: vh10-96:~ steve$ /usr/sbin/installer -help Usage: installer [options...] -pkg <pathToPackage> -target <device> Options: [-dominfo] # Display domains that can be installed into. [-volinfo] # Display volumes that can be installed onto. [-pkginfo] # Display package that will be installed (for metapackages, shows contents). [-query] <flag> # Display information about package metadata. [-allow] # Allow installing an older version of a package over a newer one (for package versioning). [-dumplog] # Write log information to standard error (in addition to the usual syslog). [-help] # Display this help information. [-verbose] # Display detailed information. [-verboseR] # Display detailed information with simplified progress output. [-vers] # Display this tool version. [-config] # Display command line parameters in XML plist format. [-plist] # Display -dominfo, -volinfo, or -pkginfo in XML plist format (ignored when performing installation). [-file <pathToFile>] # Configuration file supplying parameters in XML plist format. [-lang <ISOLanguageCode>] # Sets the default language Mac OS X will use after installation. [-listiso] # Lists the ISO language codes that are recognized. [-showChoicesXML] # Output XML data describing the choices and their properties and state. [-showChoicesAfterApplyingChangesXML <pathToFile>] # Apply changes specified in the file to the choices in the package and output the resulting XML data. See below for the file format description. [-applyChoiceChangesXML <pathToFile>] # Apply changes specified in the file to the package and proceeds with installation. See below for the file format description. Device: The -target <device> parameter is any one of the following: (1) One of the domains returned by -dominfo. (2) Device node entry. Any entry of the form of /dev/disk*. ex: /dev/disk2 (3) The disk identifier. Any entry of the form of disk*. ex: disk1s9 (4) Volume mount point. Any entry of the form of /Volumes/Mountpoint. ex: /Volumes/Untitled (5) Volume UUID. ex: 376C4046-083E-334F-AF08-62FAFBC4E352 Flags: RestartAction # Can optionally return one of the following: None RecommendRestart RequireLogout RequireRestart RequireShutdown Choices file-format: An XML file that is an array of choiceIdentifiers (as strings) to toggle. Each choiceIdentifier specified will be toggled in order -- exactly as if a user had clicked on its checkbox in Installer.app's customization pane. Examples: installer -pkg InstallMe.pkg -target CurrentUserHomeDirectory installer -pkg InstallMe.pkg -target '/Volumes/Macintosh HD2' -lang ja installer -volinfo -pkg InstallMe.pkg installer -pkginfo -pkg InstallMe.pkg installer -query RestartAction -pkg InstallMe.pkg installer -pkg InstallMe.pkg -target / -showChoices vh10-96:~ steve$ On Mar 30, 2010, at 6:25 AM, Steve Spicklemire wrote: > Hi Bruce, > > I'm not sure why Package Manager is having trouble with your > filenames/directories..
