gtk-osx-application @2.0.1 configure fails to find python...

[c.herbig@…]

Could be due to the gtk2/3 thing, don't know, but during the configure phase it summarizes thusly:

:info:configure checking Python Version... checking for a Python interpreter with version >= 2.3.5... python
:info:configure checking for python... /usr/bin/python

Hi, do you experience actual issues with gtk-osx-application in python ? With the new gtk3 there is no more need for specific code; everything works through gobject-introspection.

You should try to run python2.7 and paste this code:

from gi.repository.GtkosxApplication import Application
a = Application()

# make it jump
a.attention_request(0)

# stop jumping
a.cancel_attention_request(0)

It works for me ;-)

Replying to elelay@…: I got this:

>>> from gi.repository.GtkosxApplication import Application
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
ImportError: No module named gi.repository.GtkosxApplication
>>>

ok, I also had issues with the precompiled version of py-gobject3. I could not even do (you can try that as well):

from gi.repository import Gtk

Now I solved it by doing:

port uninstall -f py27-gobject3
port clean py27-gobject3
port install -s py27-gobject3

(ensuring that the package is actually built from source) and then retrying the python sample.

That worked. Thank you.

According to #40556 r112026 should have fixed this. Did it?

Not sure if it is because of that, but it does work now...

#40556 is about smokeping. You mean #40554.

Concerning this ticket, there is still a problem with py27-gobject3 because

from gi.repository import Gtk

should work (has nothing to do with gtk-osx-application python bindings).

I'd leave it open until it's been investigated.

[mascguy (Christopher Nielsen)]

Since we no longer have Python bindings in the various gtk-osx-application subports, can we close this?

[mascguy (Christopher Nielsen)]

Closing for now, given that Python is no longer in play. But if this is still an issue, please let us know ASAP!
