Issue 14188: Sharing site-packages between Apple and python.org builds breaks extensions (original) (raw)

I'm testing on Mac OS X 10.7.3

http://bugs.python.org/issue4865 added /Library/Python/2.7/site-packages to the path for python.org built 2.7.

This will work for .py files but .so cannot be shared. pysvn will SEGV python.org 2.7 when it is built against apple 2.7.

Because /Library/Python/2.7/site-packages is before /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/site-packages it is not possible to work around by install two binary kits.

To reproduce:

Install pysvn 1.7.6 for python.org Then run python.org 2.7 and import pysvn. This will work.

Install pysvn 1.7.6 for Apple python. python.org 2.7 import pysvn is now broken.

Sorry, I can't reproduce the problem. By default and by design, Library/Python/2.7/site-packages comes last in sys.path for the python.org installed Pythons. Are you sure you aren't overriding sys.path with a PYTHONPATH environment variable or some change to site.py?

I have wxPython installed. Uninstalling it changes the order of sys.path to this:

['', '/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python27.zip', '/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7', '/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/plat-darwin', '/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/plat-mac', '/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/plat-mac/lib-scriptpackages', '/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/lib-tk', '/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/lib-old', '/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/lib-dynload', '/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/site-packages', '/usr/local/lib/wxPython-unicode-2.8.12.1/lib/python2.7', '/Library/Python/2.7/site-packages', '/usr/local/lib/wxPython-unicode-2.8.12.1/lib/python2.7']

I'll take this up with the wxPython folks.
