Support for 10.6? #1

Hi there,

I love this app and it works amazing on my laptop but I teach a university course and unfortunately they only have 10.6 still.

It crashes on launch but it's a bit hard to decipher exactly why. Any particular thing you're using that may prevent it?

I'm quite familiar with OS X development and Python so I'd love to dive in and fix it up.

@robertjpayne I am not sure why it is crashing, am not too familiar with OS X dev and this is my first app. I can try and investigate if you could share the crash logs.

Could you also try building the app from source using the build.sh script on 10.6 and see if it works? You will require py2app, wx and few other prerequisites mentioned in the Readme

@kalyan02 The universities computers are extremely locked down so I wasn't able to get it setup for compiling from scratch.

From a quick look here's a couple of things that may be causing it:

  1. 10.6 ships with Python 2.6 not Python 2.7
  2. Even though Python 2.7 is embedded with the final binary the executable still shows links to the Python framework in /System/Library so unless they are the same versions it's likely a potential cause of crashing too.

Is there anything preventing it from compiling to Python 2.6?

I'm going to try and compile it for Python 2.6 tomorrow and test it on their computers too.

@kalyan02 I've tried building it multiple times on OS X ( 10.8 currently ) and the resulting .app file just says an error has occured when it launches prompts to either terminate or show the console.

What system did you build the pre-packaged binary on?
