For some reason, I assumed this was a buildout for a Plone site (my main usage for buildout), but that's obviously not the case. This will only give you a python install that will work with your Zope on Snow Leopard, which is exactly what I needed. It's been updated since Alexander first commented; you no longer need to designate the snowleopard.cfg file (indeed, that file is no longer there). So, follow the instructions above, but bin/buildout should do the trick. Sorry if I clouded the issue with my earlier comment :-). Duh — I get it now.

I get the following error: cc1: error: unrecognized command line option "-Wno-long-double" error: command 'gcc' failed with exit status 1 Similar to what I get when trying to compile python2.4 on Snow Leopard from scratch. Any ideas how to fix this? Can this buildout method be used to successfully install MySQL-python? Thanks for the great post! -Seth I’ve been able to install python2.4 (Universal MacPython dmg) and get Zope 2.95 running on Snow Leopard but everything breaks down when compiling MySQL-python (required for ZMySQLDA).

I get the following error:
cc1: error: unrecognized command line option “-Wno-long-double”
error: command ‘gcc’ failed with exit status 1

Similar to what I get when trying to compile python2.4 on Snow Leopard from scratch.

Any ideas how to fix this? Can this buildout method be used to successfully install MySQL-python?

Thanks for the great post!

This works very well, but obviously increases system RAM and hard drive requirements.

For the record, Florian's buildout works fine with 3.3 (thanks Florian!) The MacPorts Python 2.4 will compile, but does not contain #undef _POSIX_C_SOURCE in pyconfig.h so you get a "ImportError: cannot import name ESHUTDOWN" when starting Zope 2 (Florian's patch fixes this, among other things).

I'm doing all my Plone 4 development with it, and it works great. - Florian Schulze has created a buildout which can compile Python 2.4, 2.5 and 2.6 for you on Snow Leopard. Here's how: svn co http://svn.plone.org/svn/collective/buildout/python/ cd python python bootstrap.py bin/buildout -c src/snowleopard.cfg (wait, and you should have 2.4 and friends inside the src/ directory) I haven't tried running Plone 3.x with it yet, but give it a try and let us know.
