[FIXED] Installing PySide on OSX 10.6.8

Issue

Trying to get my feet wet with PySide development but having trouble getting setup. I tried installing the binaries 1.0.4-r1 and 1.0.5 but both of those produced the following message on import PySide

Traceback (most recent call last):
 File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
 File "/Library/Python/2.6/site-packages/PySide/__init__.py", line 2,
 in <module>
 import private
 File "/Library/Python/2.6/site-packages/PySide/private.py", line 2,
 in <module>
 from QtCore import __moduleShutdown

ImportError: dlopen(/Library/Python/2.6/site-packages/PySide/
QtCore.so, 2): Library not loaded: QtCore.framework/Versions/4/QtCore
Referenced from: /Library/Python/2.6/site-packages/PySide/QtCore.so
Reason: image not found

Then I tried doing the install from the gitorious build scripts. Using sudo ./dependencies.osx.sh. After that completed I now get the following error on import PySide.

Traceback (most recent call last):
 File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
 File "/Library/Python/2.6/site-packages/PySide/__init__.py", line 2,
in <module>
File "/Library/Python/2.6/site-packages/PySide/private.py", line 2,
in <module>
ImportError: No module named QtCore

Any advice is appreciated. I'm using QtCreator 2.2.1 and Qt SDK 1.1.2 / Qt Library 4.7.3. Thank you!

Solution

Try to install latest version MacPorts and python 2.7 first and set python2.7 as default python version:

sudo port install python27
port select --list python
sudo port select --set python python27

then re-install PySide again:

sudo port install py27-pyside
