how to run a Framework build of python (and can that requirement be added to the installation instructions?)

• [x ] OS - Mac
• [ x] Python Version - Python 2.7.14 :: Anaconda, Inc.

I saw the message about needing a Windows framework (which wasn’t mentioned in the installation instructions)

$ python example_progress_bar_1.py
This program needs access to the screen.
Please run with a Framework build of python, and only when you are
logged in on the main display of your Mac.

figured out that I could do this

conda install python.app

Here’s what I get when I try to run pythonw on the simple_demo.py in the example files

$ pythonw simple_demo.py
Traceback (most recent call last):

I guess pythonw isn’t the right thing to run a Framework build of python. Maybe this has something to do with wxPython, but

$ wxPython simple_demo.py

doesn’t work… What should I be doing to run a Framework build of python?

In Anaconda distribution you can use “pythonw” instead. It will use Framework version of python. Like so,

pythonw simple_demo.py

I have identify the debug information being printed out. It is the verbose output from Python. THe culprit is that we have set the verbose flag in the options passed in the spec

options = [('u', None, 'OPTION'), ('v', None, 'OPTION'), ('w', None, 'OPTION')]

We are probably better off only setting

options= [('u', None, 'OPTION')]

Once I did that in my build all the verbose output went away.
