PyWrapper

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 [1]. 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,

lxml still dying, the current error is:

In file included from src/lxml/etree.c:27:
/usr/local/include/libxml2/libxml/xmlstring.h:29: error: redefinition of `xmlChar'
<much more barfing>

I'm using

python setup.py build_ext -i -I /usr/local/include/libxml2

Once libxml and libxslt are install try this to see what version is running

xsltproc --version
