Python 2.7 ships with Lion (yeah!)
I need to install wxPython but only 32 bit is avail due to Carbon API ( boo )
the nice thing is that you can set an env to make it work
so my bash script for starting SPE is
#installed 32 bit version of wxPython
export VERSIONER_PYTHON_PREFER_32_BIT=yes
python _spe/SPE.py
It works!
SPE v0.8.4.i (c)2003-2008 www.stani.be
If spe fails to start:
- type "pythonw SPE.py --debug > debug.txt 2>&1" at the command prompt
(or if you use tcsh: "pythonw SPE.py --debug >& debug.txt")
- send debug.txt with some info to spe.stani.be[at]gmail.com
Hey Kevin,
ReplyDeleteI came across this post, and found it very useful, as when I installed SPE it just bounces in my dock, and does nothing. So I found that wxPython needed to be installed. Installed that, and ran the three lines of code you have above:
#installed 32 bit version of wxPython
export VERSIONER_PYTHON_PREFER_32_BIT=yes
python _spe/SPE.py
If I run this it works no problem brings up SPE, but what I am trying to figure out is how do I make it so the Icon in the dock will open the application like I was running those lines of code?
This may be a stupid question to some, but I am new to Mac, and the Linux OS's altogether. This is a learning process for me. So if you could assist I would really appreciate the assistance.

I get a syntax error on that second line. OSX 10.7.4
DeleteI am on OSX 10.7.4 as well.
Deletecan you describe your syntax error?
kev@Mac:~/bin$ cat spe-mac.sh
#installed 32 bit version of wxPython
export VERSIONER_PYTHON_PREFER_32_BIT=yes
python ~/bin/_spe/SPE.py

kev@Mac:~/bin$ sh spe-mac.sh
Oh hmmm I believe if u save the bash script as SPE.command it may work .. .command is the ext that Mac uses to recognise bash/terminal scripts ...
