Thanks Christian,

even if I can export ages with blender 2.49, I'm currious, so two questions.

I have 3 installations of blender : 2.47, 2.49, 2.49b
2.47 and 2.49 are looking after (information obtened with import PIL, help(PIL) in the Script window of blender)

Code: Select all

/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/lib/python2.5/site-packages/PIL/__init__.py

2.49b is looking after

Code: Select all

/Library/Python/2.5/site-packages/PIL/__init__.py

when I suppress /Library/Python/2.5/site-packages/PIL/__init__.py, the 2.49b version is looking after

Code: Select all

/Applications/blender-2.49b-OSX-10.5-py2.5-intel/blender.app/Contents/MacOS/.blender/scripts/PIL/__init__.py

according the Default Python Script Location written in Blender (File Paths properties)
Even it, image module is still not found.

Note: the 2.47 and 2.49 versions have the same File Paths properties as the 2.49b.
Note 2: PIL folders are the same versions in the Library folder (one with compiled files the other without). Such version is older than the one I have put in the blender/script folder .

My questions:
1/ why the 3 versions of blender are not looking after the same folder ?

2/ why the PIL installed in the Default Python Script Location is not taken into account ?

Thanks for your time.
See you soon.

Even it, image module is still not found.

The module is called Image, with a capital I, not image. Is that what you tried?

1/ why the 3 versions of blender are not looking after the same folder ?

Apparently they are linked against different Python frameworks and therefore set up their module path differently. Here's what I get for Blender 2.49a and 2.49b (I don't have 2.49 or 2.47 lying around anymore):

Code: Select all

buia:~ cwalther$ otool -L /Applications/Programme/Graphik/blender\ 2.49a/blender.app/Contents/MacOS/blender | grep Python
   /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/Python (compatibility version 2.5.0, current version 2.5.0)
buia:~ cwalther$ otool -L /Applications/Programme/Graphik/blender\ 2.49b/blender.app/Contents/MacOS/blender | grep Python
   /System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/Python (compatibility version 2.5.0, current version 2.5.1)

2/ why the PIL installed in the Default Python Script Location is not taken into account ?

I don't understand. Apparently it is, judging from your third example?

In general, you can check what locations are searched in what order by running

Code: Select all

import sys
sys.path

in the Blender Interactive Python Console.

Hi

Thanks Christian for the otool command . So for this point the difference come from blender itself.

Code: Select all

$ otool -L /Applications/blender-2.47-OSX-10.4-py2.5-intel/blender.app/Contents/MacOS/blender | grep Python
   /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/Python (compatibility version 2.5.0, current version 2.5.0)
$ otool -L /Applications/blender-2.49b-OSX-10.5-py2.5-intel/blender.app/Contents/MacOS/blender | grep Python
   /System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/Python (compatibility version 2.5.0, current version 2.5.1)
$ otool -L /Applications/blender-2.49-py2.5/blender.app/Contents/MacOS/blender | grep Python   /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/Python (compatibility version 2.5.0, current version 2.5.0)

For the Image module, I wrote it wrongly in my previous post, you can read Image instead of image. So I'm sorry, but I don't understand: I have PIL installed where blender is looking for and it is only found by the 2.47 and thz 2.49 versions in the /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/lib/python2.5/site-packages/ folder. If I suppressed it, it's not found in the blender script folder.

I think to something ... I do a test ...
Last year I had to put the PIL folder in the blender script folder (not directly the files) to have an Image module, found, now it's not that so simple. I just tried to put the files directly in the blender script folder and it's working, Image module is found in the blender script folder.

Now an other question, I have read in the wiki that the installation of the PyPRP 1.6 will change and we will have to put the folder in the blender script folder. Do you think it will works for me ?

thanks for your patience.

See you soon.

[Christian Walther]

I am not familiar with your nonstandard situation of installing PIL into the Blender scripts folder. Could be that Python doesn't evaluate the PIL.pth file there that adds the PIL subfolder to the search path. Why don't you just install it into the site-packages of the proper Python installation, where it belongs? (When installing from source, use /System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/bin/python2.5 setup.py install to make sure it picks the right one.)

More generally, do you really need the second Python 2.5 installation? It only seems to cause confusion...

I have read in the wiki that the installation of the PyPRP 1.6 will change and we will have to put the folder in the blender script folder. Do you think it will works for me ?

Yes I think so. And if it doesn't, we need to fix that. If you have doubts, then you have a few hours left to try the beta before I release the final version.

Note to self: add specific instructions for Mac OS X to the install page.

[Gbadji]

I don't know if I need the both installations of python, I'm going to check the others application I use to verify and make clean installation.
I'm not sure to have time to test the beta, I will see and maybe make a clean installation

And thanks for the instruction for Mac OS .

See you soon.
