Re: 64bit, multi-arch python web stack (i.e. FAT apache, mod_wsgi, python and mysql) on OS X 10.5 Leopard

Everything worked fine for me.
I installed python 2.6.2 from the source, as I tried to compile mysql-python I had this error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "setup.py", line 5, in <module>
from setuptools import setup, Extension
ImportError: No module named setuptools

and just installed the module following these indications http://pypi.python.org/pypi...

I am setting up a brand new mac pro with 64 bit architecture, and seem to have only the two:

file /System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.3/Python
/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.3/Python: Mach-O universal binary with 2 architectures
/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.3/Python (for architecture i386): Mach-O dynamically linked shared library i386
/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.3/Python (for architecture ppc7400): Mach-O dynamically linked shared library ppc

I managed to compile python 2.5.4 as well using the instructions above!

Following the instructions successfully builds Python 2.6.2 and reports it includes the 64 bit executable. However, when starting python up from the command prompt, Activity Monitor reports the instance as Python-32 with kind "Intel".

Interestingly, if I start python.exe from the build folder, it reports it as python.exe Intel (64 bit).

Any ideas? I have followed the instructions closely and got the same result on two different computers (a Mac Book Pro running Mac OS X 10.5 and Mac Pro running Mac OS X 10.5 Server).

Sorry, you are wrong.

Although /usr/bin/python on MacOS X 10.5 only provides 32 bit architectures, the Python framework (shared library) does include all architectures. Since both mod_python and mod_wsgi link only to the Python framework and do not use /usr/bin/python, they should work fine. Run:

file /System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.3/Python

and you should see:

$ file /System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/Current/Python
/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/Current/Python:
Mach-O universal binary with 4 architectures
/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/Current/Python
(for architecture ppc7400): Mach-O dynamically linked shared library ppc
/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/Current/Python
(for architecture ppc64): Mach-O 64-bit dynamically linked shared
library ppc64
/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/Current/Python
(for architecture i386): Mach-O dynamically linked shared library
i386
/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/Current/Python
(for architecture x86_64): Mach-O 64-bit dynamically linked shared
library x86_64

Only caveat to this is that you need to use mod_python source code from its subversion repository, as 3.3.1 tar ball has not got required changes to build properly.

There shouldn't be any problem at all with mod_wsgi if you are using standard Apache and Python from Apple. The development of mod_wsgi is actually done on MacOS X 10.5, so know it works fine.

Various details related to mod_wsgi and MacOS X 10.5 can be found at:

http://code.google.com/p/modwsgi/wiki/Installat...

So, the only thing you probably need to do anything special about is MySQL.

I went through the python & readline bit of this install process and after some wrangling got it to work.... but apparently python 2.6.2 doesn't compile numpy correctly, which was my whole reason for installing 64 bit python. Is it specifically 2.6.2 that is 64 bit compileable on mac, or could 2.5 also do it?
