There is the Python Image Library (PIL), but when I tried to install
it I of course had to install the JPEG package as well which didn't
install correctly. After trying several times to install it (the JPEG
package that is, PIL installed fine, but I only wanted it for the
extra image support) I just gave up.

Does anyone know of a quick and easy install for PIL + JPEG for Mac OS
X (10.5)?

Packaging modules with Bundlebuilder

2009-03-03 Thread DLitgo
Hello everyone,

I'm curious about creating .app files for the mac using bundlebuilder
(or py2app or even py2exe). I'm just about done creating a GUI for a
little set of scripts which basically perform batch image editing.

If I send this app to friends and family will they be able to use it?
Or would they have to download PIL (which the app uses). I guess what
I'm asking, does PIL get bundled into the app? I obviously wouldn't
want them to have to download anything as that would be embarrassing
to me :D

Okay cool, thanks for the reply!

Unusual Python interpreter problem with os.fork()

2009-03-06 Thread DLitgo
Hello everyone,

I have a curious problem which I'm wondering if anyone here can shed
some light on. I'm basically just following along with a guide which
is going through some of the os module, and I'm running some examples
in the python interpreter on mac os x (accessed through terminal/
bash).

Basically all I did was use os.fork() which caused this strange
problem:

Macintosh:~ $ python
Python 2.5.1 (r251:54863, Jan 13 2009, 10:26:13)
[GCC 4.0.1 (Apple Inc. build 5465)] on darwin
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>>
>>> import os
>>> pid = os.fork()
>>> >>> pid
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "", line 1, in 
NameError: name 'i' is not defined
>>> print 'what the hell?'
  File "", line 1
pdpit'htth l'?
^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax
>>> exit()
  File "", line 1
ex)
  ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax
>>> ^D


  File "", line 1
rn wa ehe'it(
^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax
>>>
KeyboardInterrupt
>>>
>>> exit()
Macintosh:~ $

Sorry for any formatting issues with the above code/output, I don't
post on these mailing lists often and I usually just do it through
groups.google.com in my browser.

But as you can see something strange happens and things just get
garbled and unusual. I restarted bash to see if that was the issue (it
isn't) and I've also restarted my computer since I noticed this
happening (earlier today) and nothing different happens when I import
and use os.fork().

I did however enter these simple lines into an empty file and ran it
from bash which ended up going just fine:

#file: test.py
import os
pid = os.fork()
if pid == 0: os.execvp("ls", ["ls", "-l"])

Okay cool, I guess the example wasn't meant to be run in the
interpreter then :) Thanks for the reply.
