Mac bzr dependencies broken after installing latest Python (2.6.2)

[Zearin]

Okay, so, I just installed the latest version of Bazaar. I previously installed the latest version of Python, too.

___MY SUSPICIONS___
 • Python comes preinstalled on OS X
 • The latest version of Python leaves the preinstalled version(s) alone, but I believe it changes some important paths
 • The Mac Installer for Bazaar expects (I *think*) the preinstalled version of Python, and does not like whatever changes occurred when I installed the latest version of Python for Mac.

___INSTALLED___
 • Bazaar 1.17 using Mac installer (http://bazaar-vcs.org/Download)
 • Python 2.6.2 (http://python.org/download/)

___TERMINAL OUTPUT___
$ bzr version
bzr: ERROR: Couldn't import bzrlib and dependencies.
Please check the directory containing bzrlib is on your PYTHONPATH.

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/bin/bzr", line 95, in <module>
    import bzrlib
ImportError: No module named bzrlib

$ echo $PATH
/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/bin:/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/bin:/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/bin:/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/Current/bin:/fink/bin:/fink/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/man:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/X11/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin

Hope that helps.

Let me know if there is any more info I can provide.

Wow, I just noticed that the above PATH repeats the first 3 items. Weird. I'm going to remove those duplicates right now.

[Zearin (zearin)]

Okay, I just located the following directory which looks like it has all of my old Bazaar *.egg-info folders and bundled plugins:

 /Library/Python/2.5/site-packages

I *think* where these things want to go is…

 /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/lib/python2.6/site-packages

Can someone tell me if it's safe to move/copy the contents from the old to the new? Or am I guessing incorrectly about these locations?

[Zearin (zearin)]

One more bit of info if it helps…here's the output of `ls' in /Library/Python/2.5/site-packages :

A different python means a different site-packages (or dist-packages), packages installed for a specific version of python are not installed for a different one (unless there is packaging support as Debian does).

You will need to install bzr for python2.6 specifically. Potentially someone will have to build a python 2.6 specific mac installer.

Guillermo, Szilveszter, can the Mac installer deal with other pythons?

[Guillermo Gonzalez (verterok)]

Hi Wouter.

You'r right, the installer depends on python 2.5.

It could be done, but the size of the installer might be increased
substantially (~ x2) as all the platform dependent packages (from the
top of my head: bzr, pycrypto) must be compiled for both python 2.5
and 2.6.
Also I don't know if all the packages need to be rebuilt with 2.6 in
order to work with the MacPython version.

I think the safest bet is to force the use of the default python2.5
installation in the current OS X 10.5 installer, and possibly provide
a 2.6 installer.

Cheers,

There are separate installers for Bazaar 1.17 on OS X 10.4, for Python 2.5 and 2.6 (see http://bazaar-vcs.org/Download).

Could someone build an installer for OS X 10.5 with Python 2.6? (For 1.17 and for 1.18 when it is released?)

[Vincent Ladeuil (vila)]

Is it still a problem with 1.18 installers ?
