[Vnc2swf-users] Observations running on OS X

[Dann S. W. <da...@th...>]

I have pyvnc2swf-0.6.4 running on Tiger right now and noticed some 
gotcha's.  In addition to requiring pygame it seems to also require 
pyobjc.  Both are available at the pythonmac.org/packages site.

I believe both Tiger and Panther are running Python 2.3, so make sure 
you get the right packages.

Another issue was that pygame was not found when vnc2swf.py was 
executed.  The files were installed in /Library/Python/2.3/pygame.  Now 
I am not in any way a Python developer, so my work around for this may 
not be correct.  I simply created a symlink to where pygame was located 
in 
/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.3/Extras/lib/python.

The application now worked, but I noticed another issue.  I was not able 
to enter the host name and port in the gui address.  I could enter a 
save location and choose shape, video, vnc.  On a lark I pressed start 
and received the expected error.  The save location popped up again but 
even that would not accept any input.  I had to end up terminating the 
terminal.

Running vnc2swf.py from the command line with all the necessary options 
was successful.

Right... I found there's a problem in OSX, too.  Sometimes, I
succeeded :) but not always. Seems like OSX Tkinter modules aren't
that ready for prime time... Until I figure out how to fix this,
please stick with the good old command-line terminal. Thanks.
