osx install

[gabor papp]

hi all,

i'm trying to install shoebot on osx 10.5 following the descriptions on
http://shoebot.net/download/

i had to use the following instead of the pycairo and python-gtk2
macports packages mentioned on the page.
sudo port install py-cairo py-gtk2

install works fine, although py-cairo is installed for macports
python2.4, so i had to change the first line of sbot and shoebot-ide to
#!/opt/local/bin/python2.4
from
#!/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/Resources/Python.app/Contents/MacOS/Python

but when i try to run sbot from the command line it hangs up. it seems
it does it while importing gtk. is anyone using shoebot in osx?

any help would be appreciated.

best,
gabor

Hello,
We are not currently testing Shoebot on Mac OS X, I think it also
depends on Python 2.6 which is installed by default on Tiger and next;
might I suggest you try Nodebox instead, also you could try using the
console interface.

hi Sebastian,

thanks for your reply. it's not a problem that you are not testing
shoebot on osx, because i would. i tried to install pycairo for other
python versions from macports, py25-cairo and py26-cairo, but all of
them have the same problem. the scripts hang on the line import gtk. i'm
not sure how to fix this, but it's surely not a shoebot issue. might be
a macports problem, or some installation mixup on my computer.

nodebox is not an option for me unfortunately, because i need a cross
platform solution. the final scripts have to work at least on linux and
osx. nodebox and the console interface works fine on the other hand.

best,
gabor

hi Gabor,

i did the original instructions for getting Shoebot running on Mac; i
will try with SnowLeo to see if it still works.

however, if i remember correctly, only the command-line Shoebot would
work. I really didn't try to get the GUI running, or an animation script
(both of these make use of GTK). Are you planning to make use of any of
these?

i think the problem is in OSX's GTK version. We could think about
hacking together a small Quartz alternative to GTK in order to work in
OSX systems...

i'm trying to install it on osx 10.5, so if you did the instructions on
leopard it should work for me, shouldn't it?

the command line version would be perfect, i'm not planning to do
animations or use the gui.

thanks.

odd. I can't see why it's trying to call GTK then.

i'll try and test this in a moment, but in the meantime let me know if
you get the line of code that is calling GTK when you try to run sbot
from the command line.

importing gtk hangs up for some reason. it does not have to call it. but
as you told me gtk is not needed i removed the imports from sbot, and
the command line version works.
i removed import gtk line from data/input_devices.py

and commented out the following line in sbot:
from shoebot.gui import ShoebotWindow

thanks for your help,
gabor

I've commited these changes to trunk.
