I'm trying to set up Python's CGIHTTPServer on Mac OS X to be able to serve CGI scripts locally, but I seem to be unable to do this. I've got a simple test script: #!/usr/bin/env python import cgi cgi.test() It has permissions -rwxr-xr-x@ and is located in ~/WWW (with permissions drwxr-xr-x). It runs just fine from the shell and I ...
I'm working on OS X Snow Leopard and need to programmatically generate an MD5crypt() password to match with passwords generated on Ubuntu 8.04 (crypt() on that platform uses MD5 if the salt starts with $1$ because it uses the crypt() found in glibc2 which has that functionality). There is a md5crypt routine on OS X, but unfortunately, i...

I have a text file with two non-ascii bytes (0xFF and 0xFE): ??58832520.3,ABC 348384,DEF The hex for this file is: FF FE 35 38 38 33 32 35 32 30 2E 33 2C 41 42 43 0A 33 34 38 33 38 34 2C 44 45 46 It's coincidental that FF and FE happen to be the leading bytes (they exist throughout my file, although seemingly always at the beginnin...
Hey, I'm a long time GNU/Linux user. Even though OSX is much like GNU/Linux is many ways, it differs in some. For example, when I install Firefox I expect to be able to run firefox in a shell to start it. But not in OSX. That gives me some trouble when running Emacs batch scripts. Lets say I have this script: #!/usr/bin/env emacs --s...

How can i get the NSMenu or NSMenuItem for the application menu (the one in the menu bar next to the apple menu). It seems to be automatically created and independent from the NSMenu i set via NSApplication setMainMenu. By the way: I'm building my complete application without XCode, so please no InterfaceBuilder tips. PS: MacOSX 10.5 ...
In a recent question it was noted that on OSX running sed on a non ascii file gave strange results. For instance if you do (/usr/bin/cal is a random binary file) sed 's/[^A-Z]//' /usr/bin/cal sed will remove all of the printable characters other than A-Z, but many nonprintable characters remain. If however, you do LANG='' sed 's/[...
In the opengl section of Hillegass' otherwise fine book, we're given sample code for drawing a 3d object on a view. Two people at the book's discussion forum at http://techstra.bignerdranch.com/ have reported that the drawing code runs, but fails to draw the object. I'm getting the same result, and the only discussion I've found resolv...
There's http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0321278542/ but it looks a bit dated. Specificaly, it talks about bits that are no longer in use (powerpc bootloader for example) on modern machines. So, my question really is: is there any other book, as comprehensive and detailed as this one? ...
