Python scripts work, but not app - JoeSlater

Strange. All the apps are is wrappers built by MacPython. Have you opened the Activity monitor application (in Utilities in your Applications folder) and watched it? hpcomm should result in what looks like a changing in the process ID since it kills and restarts quickly. hpkill should result in the process disappearing. What machine are you running on? It might be that I'm only building an Intel binary, but I don't know how to change that (or determine it).

I the scripts work on your machine, you can make your own applets by downloading macpython 2.5 and using the build applet application. That's all I did to make them.

Python scripts work, but not app - pg99--2008

Yes, I was watching the process id in Activity Monitor. PID changed w/scripts, but not with apps.
I already had MacPython 2.3 installed (didn't realize it until I just went and looked). Haven't found MacPython 2.5 download anywhere. The binaries produced by using the build applet function work properly. So, I'm good for now, but would be nice to figure out the problem.

So - don't know why your apps don't work and mine do - odd.

I'm running on a G4, 10.4.8, and Get Info reports that the apps are indeed applications. I would imagine that buildapplet would build a universal binary by default, don't know for sure, and don't know for sure how to tell.

thanks - I had found that, but didn't realize it included the GUI apps, so I didn't download it.

So - I installed 2.5, including Build Applet, and rebuilt the apps using 2.5. These work on my system, and your apps now work also.

As I suspect you have now figured out. the apps built by Build Applet are referencing the Python Framework of the same version as Build Applet, and the 2.5 framework wasn't there till I just installed it.
#!/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/Resources/Python.app/Contents/MacOS/Python

If your fix is to remove that dependency somehow, then you should be able to test it by temporarily moving the 2.5 framework to a different path.

Would someone without macpython or the developer tools installed and with this problem please contact me? I think I have a fix, but I need someone to test it.
Thanks,
Joe
