libprs500 and memory stick

For some reason, libprs500 does not recognize my Memory Stick, even though there are already books on there (from Connect) and the Mac mounts it. I can navigate the contents, but I can't seem to get libprs500 to see it so I can put contents on it.

Any one have a similar problem?

Are you using only a memory stick or a card and a memory stick?

libprs500 supports only one card at a time.

Oh ok. I've downloaded the trunk to take a look at the code. I'm not familiar with Python, but I am very interested in learning. I have a Java/C++/PHP/VB/.NET background. Like I said, I've never used Python before so if I can get my development environment on my Mac working (using Easy Eclipse) then I may play around with it and submit some patches.

This may off topic, but what do you recommend in terms of environment for working with Python on the Mac?

I dont use Macs, but eclipse + pydev is a good cross platform python IDE. To get libprs500 running from svn requires a whole bunch of dependencies to be compiled and installed on your system. The list is at https://libprs500.kovidgoyal.net/download_generic

Did you get all the dependencies installed first - that's where I came unstuck when trying to get things going on Windows (as a Java programmer who dabbles with Python!)

The alternative might be to use the VMware Applicance - I did actually mange to get that working!

You don't need the post_install script on OSX, it does only linux specific things. Try running one of the commandline tools say
Code:
html2lrf file.html

OK, I installed the imaging library and it works. So once I have the code in Eclipse running PyDev, I need to do what? If I make a change to some code, is there a build process? I am ignorant of Python. I have picked up a book and am going to go through it but I was hoping you could lead me in the right direction so that I can at least "see" what happens when I change things.

No build process, just make the change and run the the program. You may find this useful
