PIP install on OSX, 'error: too few arguments' about python-gphoto2

[jim-easterbrook]

The reason it works when you install from git is that you are running SWIG to generate interfaces for the libgphoto2 header files on your machine. When installing with pip you download interfaces I built using SWIG on my Linux box. I had hoped they'd be compatible.
(The error messages from the example are typical of what I get. A lot of the libgphoto2 modules seem to report rather too much, and there's no way to tell errors from warnings in the Python interface.)
Can you find the libgphoto2 header files on your machine, zip/tar them and email them to me? I'd like to see where they differ from what I've got.

Thanks for sending me the headers. I suspect the difference is libgphoto2 v2.5.7 (yours) vs 2.5.5 (mine) rather than a Mac vs Linux problem. The gp_log_data function signature has changed, acquiring a format string and variable arguments - not good news for a Python interface.
I don't think there's any need to call this function from within Python, so it might solve the problem if it's added to the 'ignore' list when building the interfaces.

Sounds good. If I should try again with pip, let me know.

I'd like to try and sort out bug #7 before the next release, so give me a day or two.
I'd also like to work out what's going on with the excessive verbosity.

[Nepomuk]

Ah, don't worry. It's working for me now, so at this point it's just helping you to solve the installation bug.

Release 0.11.1 should have fixed this bug.

    $ pip install gphoto2

It works, thank you!
