well, i have to admit stsci_python had me pretty turned off given my setup (see below). I’ve been building tools with pyfits on my linux box, so I thought to give it a shot on my imac core2duo esp after reading your post tonight.

I am using macpython, python 2.4.4 Frameworks, and NOTHING python related from fink.

scipy,numeric,numarray etc are all installed using builds wrapped in diskimages/mpkg from http://pythonmac.org/packages/

(that is how i got python2.4.4)

From this setup, I could run all of the stsci_python “tests”, importing readline, Tkinter, etc without any problems. The problem was Pmw but solving that was useful for other reasons.

Pmw: 1. I got the Pmw 1.2 tarball from sourceforge. 2. I have my iraf directory under ~/Science, so I added ~/Science/python 3. untarred Pmw into Science/python 4. export PYTHONPATH=${PYTHONPATH}:/home/aamn/Science/python 5. Pmw installed!

so then to stsci_python. i skipped their “required” build of numarray (remember, I already had it in frameworks from pythonmac.org).

Then I downloaded the stsci_python tarball.

cd ~/Science/python mkdir stscipython mv $DOWNLOADS/stscipython-2.4.tar.gz stscipython cd stscipython tar xzvf stscipython-2.4.tar.gz cd stscipython-2.4 python setup.py install –with-f2c=/iraf/iraf/unix/bin.macintel –local=~/Science/python/stsci_python

whambam it worked, compiled in about 10sec actually. the putting the source into a sub directory of the local target is fairly important.

pyraf (~/Science/python/stsci_python/pyraf) works fine, though if i have not started X11 it complains about no X. With X running in background (and restarting Terminal) things seem fine. Note running inside of fullscreen X11 with macpython results in some weirdness but I just run from Terminal with X11 in background.

I copied the stsci_python-2.4/test24.py into my iraf directory and ran python test24.py — no complaints. It also passed the pyfits tests…

I’m sure I’ll run into other funny business but so far, so good. and alot easier then suggested by stsci and another chance to avoid duplicate python installations…

cheers,
