pygtk needs python 2.5?
Submitted by mtcccom on Thu, 2008-06-05 22:16.
hi all,
I'm trying to get pygtk running, and it's failing in
pycairo saying that it needs python >= 2.5. What's rather
curious is that the build process drags in python 2.4 itself
so is it really the case that I need create yet another
python build? And if so, are there special requirements
when building? Ie, is the only thing I need to do to make
this work is create a 2.5 version of python and have the
build process find that, or are there other dependencies
that will make loading pygtk apps up difficult if it's
not installed in the usual places?
thx, Mike
The 2.5 requirement seems to
The 2.5 requirement seems to be pretty newly added, I don't know why it was done as the changelog doesn't say so. Maybe you could file a bug for that or ask the maintainer?
It should work to install 2.5 manually and get that picked up, but it would be better if 2.4 could be used...
Hi again, So it looks like
Hi again,
So it looks like the changes have mostly to do with py_ssize_t
which I guess is a difference between 2.4 and 2.5. It looks like a py_ssize_t in 2.4 was just an int. I fixed these up to
be an int again and recompiled and it seems to be working with 2.4. I agree that it would be nice if there were some backward
compatibility and this doesn't appear to be too big a hardship.
Who is the maintainer, and how do I contact them?

Yeah, I get this same error
Yeah, I get this same error during "jhbuild build meta-gtk-osx-python". Can I make the earlier jhbuild steps build python 2.5 instead? Which ~/.jhbuild/ file(s) do I need to edit?

If you have a recent version
If you have a recent version of jhbuild and the setup described in the build instructions, python 2.5 should already be built if you are on tiger. If you are on leopard, python 2.5 is already part of the system.
If that is not working, we need to debug. Start by rerunning the setup script, then try again (including the bootstrap), if it doesn't work I need to know what OS version you have,
what those commands say:
/usr/bin/python --version
which python
jhbuild run sh -c "echo \$PYTHON"
md5 $HOME/.jhbuildrc-custom
I'm on 10.4. I downloaded
I'm on 10.4. I downloaded the gtk-osx-build-setup.sh script on July 12. I see python 2.4 during "jhbuild build".

OK, thanks. Did you run
OK, thanks. Did you run "jhbuild bootstrap" after updating the script? (That's the part that builds python if necessary).
What does "uname -a" say?
Also, you can try to debug your ~/.jhbuildrc with some print statements to see why jhbuild is not being built (search for python in it).
10.4 (darwin 8) is detected
10.4 (darwin 8) is detected fine. I think the problem is "jhbuild bootstrap" builds python 2.4.5 instead of 2.5:

I substituted python 2.5.2
I substituted python 2.5.2 in place of 2.4.5, to fool "jhbuild bootstrap" into building that instead. This gets "jhbuild build meta-gtk-osx-python" past pycairo's python-2.5 check (step 3/11), but pyobject (step 5/11) still fails at the same place:

Ah! Good catch, I was
Ah! Good catch, I was thinking tiger had 2.4... :) Thanks for looking into this.
I have committed a change that makes the moduleset use pycairo 1.4.12 that works with python 2.4. The second problem is due to a recent addition to pygobject, I will talk to the maintainer to see how it can be fixed.
SVN works now, please try
SVN works now, please try again (rebuild pycairo too).
