Thanks, I went ahead and posted to that forum topic with some suggestions. I have a feeling that upgrading to the latest versions will at least remove the crash. I think there are still issues with DrPython trying to pick non-existent fonts but I posted more info about that on the board.
Regards,
Kevin

RE: Mac OSX Installation

Hi,
The first thing I'd recommend you try is upgrading both your Python and wxPython releases. I don't have Python 2.5 myself, but I noticed it says "alpha" in the Python version number, so I suspect that was one of the initial Python 2.5 releases for Mac.
On wxPython 2.8.4.0 on Python 2.4, when I run DrPython I don't get any errors, but I do get a bunch of debug warnings because DrPython is trying to set the font to faces/configurations that don't exist on the OS X system I'm running it on. The offending font names seem to be "Courier 10 Pitch", "Sans" and "Sans Serif". Also, the latter two seem very odd to me as those aren't really face names, they're font families - specifically, the wxFONTFAMILY_ROMAN and wxFONTFAMILY_SWISS families.
Anyway, please let me know if it is still crashing for you with wxPython 2.8.4.0 and the latest Python 2.5. If so, I'll make a note of it on the wxPython lists and hopefully someone setup for 2.5 can take a look at it.
Thanks,
Kevin

"Sans" and "Sans Serif" are typical aliases that are used on Linux systems, and the user can have whatever are their favorite fonts aliased to these names. They are not real font face names, but this is a common trap that Linux programmers fall into. IMO the best thing to do for any wx app to do is to default only to font families and not hard code any face names at all if possible. Then let the user choose which fonts to use and save those face names in a config file. Even then it's still a good idea to verify the names saved in the config file with the wx.FontEnumerator.

Having upgraded both Python and wxPython to the latest versions,
now drPython runs, but unfortunately only half.... which is
better than nothing I agree.
The problem is that it refuses to run any program,
claiming in its shell that execvp, which is a python function,
failed with error 2.
No matter what the program I want to run is, it is the only answer.
Example of shell:
Applications/MacPython 2.5/IDLE.app/Contents/MacOS/Python
-u "/Volumes/Macintosh HD/Users/ag/Desktop/COMPTAS/ECV/nbtest.py"
execvp(/Applications/MacPython, 2.5/IDLE.app/Contents/MacOS/Python, -u,
/Volumes/Macintosh HD/Users/ag/Desktop/COMPTAS/ECV
/nbtest.py) failed with error 2!
If you have good ideas to solve this...
Thank you in advance

First, why are you using the Python in the IDLE.app bundle? Second, since the pathname of the executable has a space in it then you probably need to enclose it in quotes too.

Hello,
Thanks Robin for answering.
1) I agree with you. But when I double click on the file drpython.pyw, this
leads me directly not to drPython (just like on my pc) but to the python file
drpython.pyw, which I have to launch with the Menu Run / run Module.
Am I doing something wrong. Do I have to put some preferences in python ? Which
ones ? where ?
2)Now that I installed the latest versions of python and wxpython, another
program that was previously running without problems now has a problem: the
scrollbars on the grid (in a notebook) don't appear anymore...
Thanks for giving me some tips... and for your time
Dominique

Ah, I see. You can make the PythonLauncher tool be the one associated with .pyw files, then the Mac will know assume that they are PythonLauncher documents and will use it to 'Open' them.
2)Now that I installed the latest versions of python and wxpython, another
program that was previously running without problems now has a problem: the
scrollbars on the grid (in a notebook) don't appear anymore...
Which versions? Sample app?

OK. Done. I reinstalled again everything and now, drpython works fine without problems (except the fonts which causes the terminal to display 10 or 20 times every second the font problem). I'll take care of this later.
Additionally, the file explorer for mac does not display all files and directories, which appear with the drpython file browser. For instance, impossible to see the .drpython directory in the preferences with the mac explorer. Certain directories just don't appear... For someone coming from windows, it is surprising.

python 2.5.1 and wxpython 2.8.4.0
I wonder if it is not a size problem with the panels/grid/frames/... with the mac. I resized the number of columns of the grid and it displayed the vertical scrollbar. Not the horizontal ones.
On my pc, no problem. I'll tell you more later

Yes, but very Mac-like. THE file browser behaves the same as the Finder, which does not, by default, show you "hidden" files. Files can be hidden for number of reasons, and having a .* name is one of them.
You can change this preference, but not through any GUI tool Apples gives you. I use "TinkerTool" myself.

Thanks a lot Chris. Now drpython works fine on my mac.
In case some others face the same kind of problems, I put an explanation of what
should be done (in my case at least) to have this nice app work on a mac
(specially for people like me who come from Windows and do not know mac a lot).
Here it is: https://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?thread_id=1740090&forum_id=283803
