Notes on getting pyWrapper to link to mx
The installation guide is here: http://trac.pywrapper.org/pywrapper/wiki/InstallationGuide
for OS X (10.3.9)
Following the steps from the pywrapper install guide.
- Steps 1 and 2 went off without a hitch after I installed the latest version of Python (2.4).
- Step 3 (lxml)
There are two dependencies, libxml2 and libxslt. Using MacPorts to install these is probably a good idea. Install MacPorts following this. Now:
sudo port selfupdate sudo port install libxml2 sudo port install libxslt sudo port install py-setuptools
XCode for 10.3.9 has old build tools, so if you encounter any build-related errors during this process, you may be able to get things working by using 'port' to install newer versions of the build tool in question (e.g. 'sudo port install gperf').
Now, download and unpack lxml, and run
python setup.py build
or 'make' in that directory. You will need to make sure the contents of the 'lxml-X.X.X/src' directory is in your PYTHONPATH, either by moving them or adding the directory to the path (I'm not a python person, so I don't know what the proper way to manage Python libraries is).
