Subject: [Pythonmac-SIG] py2app: argv emulation failing on OS X 10.9
	Mavericks
Message-ID: <52B18C15.4010700@etrix.com.au>

I have a python app that uses argv emulation with a custom url handler. 
i.e. when my url is clicked in a web page, it opens my app and passes
the url as an argument to the app.

My app works great on OS X 10.4, 10.5, 10.6, 10.7 and 10.8, but fails on
10.9 (Mavericks) :(  No arguments are passed to the app.  I'm use python
2.7.5 and py2app 0.7.3.

Here's the issue on bitbucket.
https://bitbucket.org/ronaldoussoren/py2app/issue/129/mavericks-osx-109-program-argument-passing

Does anyone know what the problem might be and whether there are any
fixes or work arounds ?

Thanks, Brendan.

Just on the off-chance, will leave this here:

http://www.mantasystems.co.uk/quickstart/

Requires some manual assembly, the current frontend UI is just a teeny 
touch old school, language documentation and tutorials are a couple 
months away, and GUI tools a bit further out still, but hopefully 
provides a taster of what I'm currently cooking up (in Python, natch).

Cheers,

Subject: [Pythonmac-SIG] Bad installer for
	wxPython2.8-osx-ansi-2.8.12.1-universal-py2.7
Message-ID: <CABRXM4=jxW8zyj5VBHBw00Q8ryGZmADV2eXGkQ=vBVEz4PKpRQ@mail.gmail.com>

I've just tried installing wx 2.8.12.1 on Mavericks and
apparently the installer is bad.

Has anyone else tried the installer for

wxPython2.8-osx-ansi-2.8.12.1-universal-py2.7 ?

When I run the pkg file a dialog tells me that that it is damaged.

I've tried 2 mirror sites and 2 different browsers, all have the same
results

I see the same thing as well and it is not limited to Mavericks.  It 
would be good to report it to the project.

I should have Googled first.  There is a known workaround: install from 
the command line.  After double-clicking on the dmg to mount it:

sudo installer -pkg 
/Volumes/wxPython2.9-osx-2.9.4.0-cocoa-py2.7/wxPython2.9-osx-cocoa-py2.7.
pkg -target /

http://trac.wxwidgets.org/ticket/14523

Taking a quick look at the dmg contents, it seems somewhat different 
from other bundle-format pkgs I've looked at.  My guess is that 
Installer.app changed for 10.8 and is less tolerant of old packaging 
formats.  Installer.app certainly still does support older bundle-format 
packages (as opposed to the 10.5+ "flat" packages which are capable of 
being signed), even in 10.9.  The current python.org installers, for 
example, are still in the old format.  So the wxPython package should be 
fixable.  If support for installing on OS X 10.4 or earlier is not 
needed, the better solution would be to migrate to more recent packaging 
tools.
