Hi, I'm trying to install Python from source on my Mac. (OS X 10.6.2, Python-2.6.5.tar.bz2) I've done this before and it was easy, but for some reason, this time after ./configure, and make, the sudo make install puts things some things in my home directory instead of in /usr/local/... where I expect. The .py files are okay, but not ...

I want to make a widget that displays a column of selectable text data. It seems that the NSBrowser is the best cocoa object to do this but I cannot figure out how to populate the NSBrowser with any sort of data. I assume I can set the string value of an NsBrowserCell but no where in the documentation can I find where to add a new cell...
Is there a standard Aqua way to handle a practically infinite document? For example, imagine a level editor for a tile-based game. The level has no preset size (though it's technically limited by NSInteger's size); tiles can be placed anywhere on the grid. Is there a standard interface for scrolling through such a document? I can't sim...
Is it possible to simulate the actions of a mouse from a program in OS X? Specifically, the short version is that I'm trying to simulate a touchscreen using two webcams. So assuming I can get X,Y positions, can I send information to the OS as a mouse movement or click? Edit- Or if it's particularly easy in another operating system I'd b...

Using the plethora of drawing functions in Cocoa or Quartz it's rather easy to draw paths, and fill them using a gradient. I can't seem to find an acceptable way however, to 'stroke'-draw a path with a line width of a few pixels and fill this stroke using a gradient. How is this done? Edit: Apparently the question wasn't clear enough. T...

The program itself works perfectly on Windows when it is either run from within Eclipse or from a jar file.

The app I'm controlling typically has multiple windows open, with some hidden behind others. What I would...
