xraylib: needs to enforce use of MacPorts python

[watsodw]

Updated xraylib to 2.16.0_0 and got this warning:

Warning: violation by /Library/Python Warning: xraylib violates the layout of the ports-filesystems! Warning: Please fix or indicate this misbehavior (if it is intended), it will be an error in future releases!

Running Snow Leopard 10.6.8

Hello David,

I've added an option to xraylib that allows the python bindings to be installed within the native site-packages folder of the selected python-interpreter, in order to avoid having to use the PYTHONPATH environment variable. This option is activated in the port file and therefore leads to your warning since you appear to be using the python interpreter that came with Mac OS X.

I will add the destroot.violate_mtree setting to the port file which should take care of this warning.

Cheers,

Tom

Actually, if I do "which python" I get:

/opt/macports/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/bin/python

so I don't know why its looking at /Library/Python

@Tom: The current python variant is insufficient as it stands. Macports policy is not to rely on the currently selected python. It would be much better to have pythonXY variants instead which work with macports python versions. See the root port, among many others, as an example.

That's unexpected... I cannot reproduce that behavior on Mountain Lion. Unfortunately I do not have access to Snow Leopard.

Would it be possible to compile xraylib yourself and send me the config.log file? Make sure to use the --enable-python-integration option to configure.

I would be very grateful!

Best,

Tom

Ok, I'll start working on this. Thanks for the example, it looks quite useful.

Attached is config.log. The package failed to build, though, with a

Making all in java swig -I../include -includeall -java -o xraylib_wrap.c ../src/xraylib.i :3: Error: Unable to find 'java.swg' ../src/xraylib.i:15: Error: Unable to find 'typemaps.i'

error. But that's not relevant at this point.

You must have manually added /opt/macports/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/bin to your $PATH. Doesn't matter; MacPorts doesn't use your $PATH.

Based on your config.log it looks definitely due to your PATH variable as pointed out by Ryan already. In fact, if you would have installed xraylib this way it would not have put the python bindings in /Library/Python but in the correct folder of macport's python...

Hello again,

The patches I submitted in #36220 now include support for different python versions.

Thanks,

Tom
