Using PyDicia on Non-Windows Platforms |
| |
====================================== |
| |
|
| |
When used on a non-Windows platform, PyDicia cannot detect any DAZzle |
| |
configuration information, so you must manually set ``DAZzle.exe_path`` to |
| |
the client program, if you wish to use any of the ``run()`` methods. |
| |
(Likewise, you must manually set ``DAZzle.LayoutDirectory`` if you want layout |
| |
paths to be automatically adjusted.) |
| |
|
| |
On the Mac, the ``exe_path`` should be set to a program that takes a single |
| |
XML filename as an argument. The Mac ``endiciatool`` program probably will |
| |
not work on its own, without a wrapper shell script of some kind; I'm open to |
| |
suggestions as to how to improve this. Note, by the way, that the Mac client |
| |
doesn't support all of the options that the Windows client does, so remember |
| |
that use of PyDicia is entirely at your own risk, whatever the platform! |
| |
|
| |
On other platforms, the main usefulness of PyDicia would be in generating XML |
| |
for users to download (e.g. from a web application) or submitting and |
| |
processing jobs via a Samba-mounted queue directory. You don't need an |
| |
``exe_path`` for this, but you will need to generate your own layout and output |
| |
file paths using ``Option`` objects, to avoid them being mangled by PyDicia's |
| |
platform-specific path munging. |
| |
