Unable to Build Mac OS X Application #2209

0u812 · 2015-02-27T01:01:45Z

I'm trying to build a self-contained Mac app by following these instructions:
https://bitbucket.org/spyder-ide/spyder-mac-app/src/8678bee94f6632753089949f165926164dadc8a0/Howto%20build%20the%20app.md?at=default
For the purposes of this issue, I'm using the official Spyder master branch at a67dfc9. Basically, I am interested in how the official Spyder dmg is currently being built. Are these instructions still current? As you can see, they don't work for me. I'm on Mavericks FWIW.

I've followed all of the instructions to the letter up to python setup.py build_doc, which fails with

error: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'build/lib/spyderlib/doc'

Furthermore, if I try to run

/usr/local/bin/python create_app.py py2app

(I need to use /usr/local/bin/python and not simply python because this is where pip installs its packages), the create_app.py script fails with

RuntimeError: maximum recursion depth exceeded while calling a Python object

The backtrace contains this:

What version of py2app are you using?

0u812 · 2015-02-27T21:05:51Z

I'm using 0.9 (output of pip show py2app):

Name: py2app
Version: 0.9
Location: /usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages
Requires: altgraph, modulegraph, macholib

ccordoba12 · 2015-03-01T17:27:36Z

I'm using py2app 0.8 to build the app right now because I encountered this error myself (or something similar, I don't remember exactly ;-).

0u812 · 2015-03-02T03:14:36Z

Thanks, but unfortunately I got the same error even after downgrading to py2app 0.8. I was able to get past the recursion limit by adding

sys.setrecursionlimit(2000)

to setup.py, but now I'm running into the following error (with py2app 0.8):

ccordoba12 · 2015-03-02T03:18:12Z

I think you need to use the exact modulegraph and other py2app
dependency versions required by 0.8 when it was released. I'll let you
know what versions I'm using tomorrow (because I don't have my Mac here :-)

Okay thanks!

0u812 · 2015-03-03T18:44:14Z

Any word on the correct versions?

ccordoba12 · 2015-03-03T20:37:51Z

py2app 0.8.1
altgraph 0.11
modulegraph 0.11.1
macholib 1.6

0u812 · 2015-03-03T21:13:49Z

Thanks, but I still run into the error below (and I still need to add sys.setrecursionlimit(2000) to setup.py to prevent hitting the maximum recursion depth). I'm using brew-installed Python 2.7.9. Could it be a Python version mismatch? Also, I did git pull to update Spyder to 9ae469c.

No idea, I'm creating the app on 10.7 and it works fine here

0u812 · 2015-03-03T23:38:57Z

Oh well, thanks for your help anyway! Just one question before I close this - can you say which Python version you're using to run create_app.py and if it is installed via homebrew?

ccordoba12 · 2015-03-04T20:19:34Z

I'm using Python 2.7.8 at the moment. But please don't close this issue, I'll try to simplify this whole process by using Anaconda instead of Homebrew.

ccordoba12 · 2015-03-09T20:15:33Z

@0u812 I uploaded new dmg for Python 2 and Python 3 to our download site

https://bitbucket.org/spyder-ide/spyderlib/downloads

Would you mind to test if any of them work on 10.9.5? Thanks :-)

0u812 · 2015-03-10T13:02:39Z

Sure thing! But I'm traveling right now and have intermittent internet
access. Can't seem to get through to the downloads. I'll try again later.

I'm finally back from traveling and I was able to test the new dmgs (sorry it took so long). I'm running 10.10 (Yosemite) now, and here's what I found:

Spyder with Python 3.4 works well except the IPython console. It just displays the "Connecting to kernel..." message with the spinning throbber. I let it go for about 10 min and it still didn't connect. Also tried opening new IPython console, restarting kernel - didn't help.
Spyder with Python 2.7 seems to work fine - no IPython trouble

Has anyone experienced this before? Should I file an issue?

ccordoba12 · 2015-03-23T23:40:23Z

Good! The problems with the IPython console are known. At least Spyder with Python 2.7 is working well now!

I'm closing this one because I don't think there is anything else to do.
