bittorrent port broken on Leopard - py-wxpython version issues

[em@…]

Bittorrent will not run, it gives permission errors.

$ bittorrent.py --version
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/opt/local/bin/bittorrent.py", line 20, in ?
    from BitTorrent.translation import _
  File "/opt/local/lib/python2.4/site-packages/BitTorrent/__init__.py", line 72, in ?

    mkdir(name, mode)
OSError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/opt/local/bin/locale'

I'm not sure what the locale file should contain (if anything) but if I just touch it, then I still get permissions errors:

$ sudo touch /opt/local/bin/locale
$ bittorrent.py --version

A version bump takes care of the locale thing, and you can work around the .bittorrent permissions issue with sudo chown -R $USER ~/.bittorrent. After that, it complains that there is no wx module, which seems to be because it requires wx 2.6 rather than the current 2.8.

I bumped the version and changed the dependency to py-wxpython26 in r35364, but I can't test any further because wxWidgets26 won't build for me.

Thanks for your help. Doesn't seem like wxWidgets26 will ever build on Leopard (depreciated calls). I removed the older version of bittorrent, reverted my local portfile back to plain wxWidgets and everything built OK. Only issue is still have to chown ~/Library/Application\ Support/BitTorrent/ after install. I didn't see any complaint about missing wx.

  bittorrent @5.2.0_0 (active)
  py-wxpython @2.8.7.1_0 (active)
  wxWidgets @2.8.7_0 (active)
