Installing EPD 7.0 + ETS on OSX x64 + virtualenv

00README

Please note that this gist applies to EPD version 7.0 and 7.1. EPD 7.1 includes ETS 
but not completely on OSX x64. Furthermore a patch has been submitted for inclusion 
in virtualenv that should resolve the virtualenv issue.

The notes below were compiled for 7.0 and will need to be replaced with corresponding
7.1 paths.

virtualenvwrapper.user_scripts creating /software/python/EPD/virtualenvs/7.0/devpype/bin/get_env_details

to use the environment devpype (automatically activated by mkvirtualenv) but for other users they would just need to do:

source /software/python/EPD/virtualenvs/7.0/devpype/bin/activate
and then to turn off
deactivate

alternatively using virtualenvwrapper (put into bashrc)

export PATH=/software/python/EPD/7.0/bin:$PATH
export WORKON_HOME=/software/python/EPD/virtualenvs/7.0/
source /software/python/EPD/7.0/bin/virtualenvwrapper.sh

then in the terminal you can use virtualenvwrapper commands:

workon devpype

Anyone get this working with EPD 7.1?

hi brian, epd 7.1 x64 for osx contains ets! cheers, satra

I am interested in the virtualenv piece. I tried applying your patch to virtualenv, but it doesn't work for EPD 7.1. Cheers, Brian On Mon, Jul 11, 2011 at 7:17 PM, satra reply@reply.github.com wrote:

I tried the patch (at least the one on the gist originally) and it no longer fies the issue :( Brian

Thanks for this - is this still a current fix for EPD 7.1?

this is still a fix, except for the fact that EPD 7.1 does provide a number of the ETS packages. a few notes:

• you will have to uninstall using enpkg - Qt and PySide
• the virtualenv patch though is in my github virtualenv fork. i haven't checked it in a while though.
• you should get the latest versions of wx 2.9 for osx (although wxpython will complain and not run as it expects a framework build, which EPD 64 doe not appear to be) - so you will have to rely on Qt for any windowing.

Ok - thanks.

Hi I want to use mayavi with 64-bit EPD but I'm getting the following error when I import the module

Fatal Python error: PyThreadState_Get: no current thread
Abort trap

Any Suggestions?

Did you follow the instructions related to using the ETS listed above? Have you put the question to the related Enthought mailing list, epd-users@enthought.com ? The core developers are often hanging around there and are helpful with this sort of issue.

Thanks for your reply. I will email on the enthought mailing list. It works fine with 32-bit EPD though. So
for now, I'm using that

Yes - As you can see from this post and other results on Google 32-bit is a ok, while ETS (anything with a UI I think) is an issue with the 64-bit EPD version. If you're not super interested (or needing) 64-bit, just going with the 32-bit simplifies some of the rough edges. Good luck.
