Troubles with PyDev and external libraries in OS X
- by Davide Gualano
I've successfully installed the latest version of PyDev in my Eclipse (3.5.1) under OS X 10.6.3, with python 2.6.1
I have troubles in making the libraries I have installed work.
For example, I'm trying to use the cx_Oracle library, which is perfectly working if called from the python interpeter of from simple scripts made with some text editor.
But I cant make it work inside Eclipse: I have this small piece of code:
import cx_Oracle
conn = cx_Oracle.connect(CONN_STRING)
sql = "select field from mytable"
cursor = conn.cursor()
cursor.execute(sql)
for row in cursor:
field = row[0]
print field
If I execute it from Eclipse, I get the following error:
import cx_Oracle
File "build/bdist.macosx-10.6-universal/egg/cx_Oracle.py", line 7, in <module>
File "build/bdist.macosx-10.6-universal/egg/cx_Oracle.py", line 6, in __bootstrap__
ImportError: dlopen(/Users/dave/.python-eggs/cx_Oracle-5.0.3-py2.6-macosx-10.6-universal.egg-tmp/cx_Oracle.so, 2): Library not loaded: /b/227/rdbms/lib/libclntsh.dylib.10.1
Referenced from: /Users/dave/.python-eggs/cx_Oracle-5.0.3-py2.6-macosx-10.6-universal.egg-tmp/cx_Oracle.so
Reason: no suitable image found. Did find:
/Users/dave/lib/libclntsh.dylib.10.1: mach-o, but wrong architecture
Same snippet works perfectly from the python shell
I have configured the interpeter in Eclipse in preferences - PyDev -- Interpreter - Python, using the Auto Config option and selecting all the libs found.
What am I doing wrong here?
Edit: launching
file /Users/dave/.python-eggs/cx_Oracle-5.0.3-py2.6-macosx-10.6-universal.egg-tmp/cx_Oracle.so
from the command line tells this:
