API Support for Python 2.7.1 on Mac OS X Lion?

FrontPanel
1

I recently updated to Mac OS X Lion, which comes with Python 2.7.1. When I try to run one of my Python scripts I get the following error:

Fatal Python error: Interpreter not initialized (version mismatch?)
Abort trap: 6

Other scripts that don’t access the OK API run fine. Is it possible that the dylib needs to be recompiled to be compatible? Any other ideas?

Thanks much!

Hey,
Similarly I installed the FrontPanel 4.0.8 Library on my MacBook Pro running Mountain Lion and I get the same error mention above when I attempt to import “ok.py”. Is there any way I can get it to run and if not will there be a compatible version coming soon?
Thanks!

Hello Fred–

The latest FrontPanel is 4.2.2 and is shipping with the XEM6002 and our new XEM6310 which begins shipping this week. The new FrontPanel SDK will be pushed to the website a little later this week. There will be a newsletter announcement with some of the details a little later, as well.

Any solution to this?

I’m having the same problem. When importing ok, python returns the following:

[CODE]
Python 2.7.3 (default, Nov 19 2012, 00:46:55)
[GCC 4.2.1 Compatible Apple Clang 4.1 ((tags/Apple/clang-421.11.66))] on darwin
Type “help”, “copyright”, “credits” or “license” for more information.

import ok
Fatal Python error: PyThreadState_Get: no current thread
Abort trap: 6[/CODE]

I’m running python installed by MacPorts…

I just bought and received a 6310 to use specifically with Python on the Mac.

I am experiencing the same error.

I am able to connect and load the “first” test using the mac front panel app and it works…I just want to be able to use python…do I need to install anything? Documentation for mac/python is very noticeably abscent…am I not looking in the right places? Nothing even on how to install for mac?

Any guidance would be appreciated.
