Here is what I would like to do.
Use web2py with MySQL.
To do that, I need to use source web2py rather than web2py.app
To use web2py, I need Python 2.5
I am having trouble building and installing Python 2.5
I downloaded Python-2.5.6.tgz from Python release page.
Now, I did
./configure
and then
make
Then, I get the following error.
gcc -c -fno-strict-aliasing -Wno-long-double -no-cpp-precomp
-mno-fused-madd -DNDEBUG -g -fwrapv -O3 -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -I. -IInclude -I./Include -DPy_BUILD_CORE -o Modules/python.o ./Modules/python.c
cc1: error: unrecognized command line option
"-Wno-long-double" make: * [Modules/python.o] Error 1
Can anybody help me how to get rid of this error and install Python 2.5?
Here is gcc I am using
gcc version 4.2.1 (Based on Apple Inc. build 5658) (LLVM build
2336.9.00)
Your help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
web2py works fine with Lion's stock Python 2.7. Unless you have a compelling reason to use 2.5, stick with 2.7.
I have web2py on my iMac OSX Lion using the web2py app and MySQL. I haven't run into any reason why you can't use the app with MySQL.
To install Python on OS X, try using the Universal Binaries provided on python.org (documented at http://docs.python.org/2/using/mac.html).
See http://www.python.org/ftp/python/2.5.4/python-2.5.4-macosx.dmg for the most recent Universal Binary for Python 2.5.

I am trying to install PyCrypto on OS X 10.11.3 (El Capitan). I am using Python 3.5.1. I downloaded the gzip file from https://pypi.python.org/pypi/pycrypto and decompressed it. Then I ran python setup.py build like the instructions said and it appeared to do something, then it produced this output:
/usr/bin/clang -fno-strict-aliasing -fno-common -dynamic -isysroot /Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.6.sdk -arch i386 -arch x86_64 -fwrapv -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -std=c99 -O3 -fomit-frame-pointer -Isrc/ -I/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/include/python2.7 -c src/MD2.c -o build/temp.macosx-10.6-intel-2.7/src/MD2.o

I tried python3 setup.py build and got some very similar output:

I tried Googling to figure out what to do, but I couldn't find anything useful. How can I install PyCrypto?
EDIT: I also tried several other things like pip install pycrypto and sudo pip3 install pycrypto and they didn't work. #l'L'l helped me get it to work by doing several strange, complex things that I never would have though have myself. They are summarized in the answer below.
Overview:
The manual build you're trying looks like it might be failing because it's referencing the OS X 10.6 SDK, which you likely don't have, and is outdated for the most part. Also, SDKs are now stored in a completely different location than when the 10.6 SDK was in it's prime.
New SDKs location:
/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/
Old SDKs location:
/Developer/SDKs/
Non-existent / outdated SDK:
Since it appears that when trying to build PyCrypto it's referencing the MacOSX10.6.sdk there are several things to consider:
Why does it reference an outdated SDK
Where is the SDK it's referencing set
What should be done to correct the issue
Unless we audit the source code carefully we might not know exactly where the incorrect flags are set, but we can do our best to work with the information we have. From the error we can see that there are several instances where the 10.6 SDK's name pops up:
/usr/bin/clang -fno-strict-aliasing -fno-common -dynamic -isysroot /Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.6.sdk -arch i386 -arch x86_64 -fwrapv -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -std=c99 -O3 -fomit-frame-pointer -Isrc/ -I/Library
Building from source:
/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/include/python2.7 -c src/MD2.c -o build/temp.macosx-10.6-intel-2.7/src/MD2.o
src/MD2.c:30:10: fatal error: 'string.h' file not found
#include <string.h>
^
1 error generated.
error: command '/usr/bin/clang' failed with exit status 1
Analyzing this we can see that the PyCrypto's MD2.c file is trying to be built using the flag -isysroot /Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.6.sdk. It might be worth trying pip instead:
Installing with pip:
...
fatal error: 'string.h' file not found #include <string.h>
...
Same error; we should probably find out if the <string.h> header even exists on the system — Let's make a quick test C application to find out:
Testing the C headers:
$ echo "#include <string.h>
#include <stdio.h>
int main() { printf(\"TEST\n\"); return 0; }" > t.c
$ clang t.c -o t
$ ./t
TEST
It's apparent the header does exist because the test worked fine. This tells us that the problem is more likely related directly to the 10.6 SDK (which doesn't seem to exist on the system).
Symlinking (non-existing) 10.6 SDK to 10.11 SDK:
Since we haven't determined where the SDK is actually getting set we'll go ahead and try to create symlinks so that any reference of the old 10.6 SDK links to the latest SDK (10.11 at this time):
$ cd /Developer/SDKs
$ sudo ln -s /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.11.sdk MacOSX10.6.sdk
We can verify the symlink by issuing the following command:
$ ls -lat
total 8
drwxr-xr-x 3 root wheel 102 Feb 21 15:54 .
lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 99 Feb 21 15:54 MacOSX10.6.sdk -> /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.11.sdk
drwxr-xr-x 3 root wheel 102 Feb 21 15:52 ..
Now that we've successfully created the symlink let's try installing PyCrypto with pip once more:
$ sudo pip install pycrypto
Collecting pycrypto
Downloading pycrypto-2.6.1.tar.gz (446kB)
100% |████████████████████████████████| 446kB 1.2GB/s
Installing collected packages: pycrypto
Running setup.py install for pycrypto ... done
Successfully installed pycrypto-2.6.1
No errors! It looks like our problem is solved! Well, almost...
We still need to figure out what is responsible for setting the wrong (10.6) SDK during builds. Let's use the xcrun tool to see what the defaults are set at:
$ xcrun --show-sdk-version
10.11
The system default SDK is set to 10.11, so it must be get set incorrectly to 10.6 by Python, PyCrypto, or some other anomaly we might not have considered.
UPDATE:
After doing some recon it was discovered that Python 3 appears to be built with the OS X 10.6 SDK. In addition it's also setting the SDK to 10.6 and setting the (outdated) path in numerous places throughout the Python_Framework. There are so many references I won't bother listing them all, although here's an example:
Python_Framework Folder/Versions/3.5/lib/python3.5/config-3.5m/Makefile:79:CONFIGURE_CFLAGS= -arch i386 -arch x86_64 -isysroot /Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.6.sdk
I can only assume the developers were trying to be as backward compatible as possible, however, it's unfortunately breaking forward compatibility in the process.
Notes:
Installing Python packages with pip can make life much easier in a lot of ways (package management, updating, uninstalling, etc.). For example installing PyCrypto should just be a matter of issuing the command:
$ sudo pip install pycrypto
If you have multiple Python's you can use the version number to install for that Python accordingly:
$ sudo pip3.5 install pycrypto
↳ https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/installing/
I had what might be a related issue on OSX El Capitan when I would run pip install pycrypto. I was seeing RuntimeError: autoconf error. All I had to do was run sudo xcodebuild -license and type agree after reviewing the licence agreement. Afterward I was able to use pip to install pycrypto.
I have installed python-2.7-macosx10.5.dmg from python.org on Mac os x 10.5.8.

Can anyone help me to resolve this?
I found the easiest way was to build the version of pyPortMidi included in pygame, which has some fixes applied.
You can use the following pattern to import it at the top of your file, preferring the standard version, but falling back to the pygame bundled version.
try:
import pypm
except ImportError:
from pygame import pypm
Using MacPorts, it was easy to install using:
port install py27-game +portmidi
I don't know if you need something special to include portmidi in the build if you build by other methods.
Looking at the link below it seems that stuff is broken and missing. Don't know if they are going to fix it anytime soon... Been bothering me too for some time...

I'm trying to install PyCurl in my local environment which has python 2.7 and gcc-4.2 on OS X 10.7 Lion. I've tried doing this based on this answer Error installing PyCurl:
sudo env ARCHFLAGS="-arch x86_64" pip install pycurl
Which fails because I have gcc-4.2 installed via Xcode:
error: command 'gcc-4.0' failed with exit status 1
I've also tried downloading the source and building a setup.py (I modified this based on Problem trying to install PyCurl on Mac Snow Leopard):
gcc-4.2 -fno-strict-aliasing -fno-common -dynamic -DNDEBUG -g -fwrapv -Os -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -DENABLE_DTRACE -arch x86_64 -pipe -DHAVE_CURL_SSL=1 -I/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/include/python2.7 -c src/pycurl.c
This results in the same error as above. I have verified that I do indeed have gcc-4.2 and that it is linked to my /usr/bin.
I'm thinking that it will work if I compile it correctly so that it knows to use gcc-4.2 when installing instead of gcc-4.0. However, I don't know how to do this and have not found something to explain passing an argument to use a particular gcc. I want to avoid overriding system defaults if possible.
Chances are you have a 32-bit-only Python 2.7 installed on your system (possibly downloaded from python.org) which was built with gcc-4.0 and includes a PPC universal variant. Building C extension modules with these Pythons is very problematic with Xcode 4 installed (the default for 10.7 and optional for 10.6) because gcc-4.0 and PPC support have both been removed. The easiest and best long-term solution is to install a 64-bit/32-bit Python build (see the python.org download page for current releases) or simply use the Apple-supplied Python 2.7.1 (/usr/bin/python2.7) in 10.7.
I had problems installing psycopg2 in a virtualenv.
I tried different things explained there: http://www.saltycrane.com/blog/2009/07/using-psycopg2-virtualenv-ubuntu-jaunty/
The last thing I tried is this...
I created a virtualenv with -p python2.5 --no-site-packages
I installed libpq-dev: apt-get install libpq-dev
In the virtualenv, I did this: easy_install -i http://downloads.egenix.com/python/index/ucs4/ egenix-mx-base
Then when I tried pip install psycopg2==2.0.7, I got this error:

Does anyone have any idea how to solve that?

From python-list:
Diez:
Install the python-dev-package. It
contains the Python.h file, which the
above error message pretty clearly
says. Usually, it's a good idea to
search package descriptions of
debian/ubuntu packages for missing
header files to know what to install.
Pascal:
It's already installed; at least for
Python 2.6, nor sure it's correct for
Python 2.5. python2.5-dev is not available but
python-old-doctools seems to replace it.
Diez:
It is 100% not correct for
python2.5. As the error message shows
- it's missing.
If it's not available somewhere, you
should consider building python
yourself, if you have to use 2.5.
Alex:
Ubuntu 10.04 doesn't have a full
Python 2.5 packaged, as evidenced by
the lack of python2.5-dev. You need to
use Python 2.6 or if you absolutely
must use Python 2.5 build it from
source, try a Debian package or switch
distro. python-old-doctools does not
replace python- dev, it looks like it
was bodged to keep some latex tools
working.
Pascal: I finally created a virtualenv
with Python 2.6 and everything went fine
(with the latest version of psycopg2).
I'm an extremely amateur programmer; I've done some recreational algorithmics programming, but I honestly have no idea how libraries and programming languages really fit together. I'm supposed to work on a project that requires some image processing, so I've been trying to install PIL for a while, but I haven't been able to.
I went to http://www.pythonware.com/products/pil/ and downloaded "Python Imaging Library 1.1.6 Source Kit (all platforms) (440k TAR GZ) (December 3, 2006)". Then I opened the folder in my command prompt and ran
$ python setup.py build_ext -i .
This was the output I got:

Do you guys have any idea what's going on? I'm using a MacBook Pro with a Core 2 Duo.
And I'm honestly sorry if this is ridiculously stupid.
Actually, assuming you're still using the default 2.5.x Python that comes with OS X (at least as of 10.5.6), there's a pre-built installer package for it (download the dmg for PIL).
Otherwise, you'll need to either build it from source -- which does require the mac dev tools -- or install it with MacPorts or fink
edit: mono makes a good point, you'll still need the dev tools unless you use the pre-built installer.
You need to install the developer tools that come on your Mac OS X install DVD.
GCC is the GNU compiler. It's a very useful thing to have. You just need to install it in whatever mac-friendly way exists.

So this is from awhile ago, but I just ran into the problem.
The issues lies with ->
/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/lib/python2.6/distutils/sysconfig.py
or wherever your python install is.
there is a line that sets the compile flags:
archflags = '-arch i386 -arch ppc -arch x86_64'
I just removed it from that line and went on my merry way. Now there is obviously a way to configure this from the line above:
os.environ['ARCHFLAGS']
but I don't know about that, and didn't want to mess with it.
