If I embed the Python interpreter in a C or C++ program, as in this example , is there any way to limit how long the interpreter runs for? Is there anything to stop the Python code from entering an infinite loop and thus preventing PyObject_CallObject (or equivalent) from ever returning? Similarly, if the Python code creates a new thread, is there anything to stop this thread from entering an infinite loop and running forever? Peter Brittain As you can see in the docs , PyObject_CallObject has no mechanism for limiting how long the function runs. There is also no Python C API function that I

I have this app where I need to activate an other app's menu item (like Print cmd+p) from within my app. Right now I'm using CGEventPostToPSN() to do the job and it works fine, but when I activate sandboxing, it stops working. CGEventPostToPSN(&psn, keyDownEvent); CFRelease(keyDownEvent); CGEventPostToPSN(&psn, keyUpEvent); CFRelease(keyUpEvent); My question now is what can I do when I need to enable sandboxing? I heard a lot about the Accessibility API but I was unable to find out how I can activate an other app's menu item. I'm thankful for any answer on this problem. Fabian In a sandboxed

I am making a Mac OS X App (sandboxed) which reads from an installed config file in /etc/myfolder. When I am trying to read the file using NSFileHandle, I am getting the following error in Console: sandboxd: ([3251]) MyApp(3251) deny file-read-data /private/etc/myfolder/myconfig.conf I have set the following entitlements in my Entitilements file, but I still get denied by sandboxd. com.apple.security.temporary-exception.files.home-relative-path.read-only com.apple.security.temporary-exception.files.absolute-path.read-only com.apple.security.files.user-selected.read-only EDIT: It seems that I

I found some resources on reading the NSUserDefaults of another application. Objective-C NSUserDefaults caching prevents another app from accurately reading changes NSUserDefaults: Is it possible to get userDefaults from another app? Apparently, it's not possible. However the questions firstly relate to iOS, and secondly the two apps are completely different. I have a LaunchAtLogin helper app. But it does some other tasks too. Therefore, the helper app should run always, but only start the main app if the BOOL in the NSUserDefaults is set. Is there a way I can achieve that? Since 10.7.4 you

I am using the (Java) Rest API to perform payments directly from credit cards in the sandbox. The payments all receive "pending" status, which according to the docs ( https://developer.paypal.com/webapps/developer/docs/api/#create-a-payment ) is not even a valid state to be returned by the payment create call. Payment review is disabled. I would like to see the process through and complete the transaction. How do I do that in the sandbox? Or should I receive a different state right away? Under http://developer.paypal.com , Application tab, find out the email associated to the REST app. Now

I followed Ray Wenderlich's tutorial to implement receipt validation in my app. The code connects to Apple's validation server directly from my app rather than going through my own server. After I submitted my first binary to the AppStore, I tested my app and the in-app purchasing didn't work because I had switched it over from the sandbox URL to the production URL. Will this also fail when they AppStore reviewers test it and therefore be rejected? I've read this post but I'm still very confused about whether that applies to me if I'm not using my own server. The solution is quite simple and

I am designing a system in C/C++ which is extendible with all sort of plugins. There is a well defined C public API which mostly works with (const) char* and other pointer types. The plugins are compiled into .so or .dll files, and the main application loads them upon startup, and later unloads or reloads them upon request. The plugins might come in from various sources, trustable or not so :) Now, I would like to make sure, that if one plugin does something stupid (such as tries to free a memory which he was not supposed to free), this action does not bring down the entire system, but merely

I'd like to launch another own application by LSOpenApplication() in Sandbox on Mac. Of course, I added a row into 'com.apple.security.temporary-exception.files.absolute-path.read-write' in an entitlements file for launching. However, when launching, console spat out an error which is Not allowing process xxxx to launch "foo.app" because it has not been launched previously by the user. It is able to launch without errors after launched the process manually once. How can I launch the process even if not launch previously? Is this no relation with sandboxing? rudy There are very few conditions

Haskell newbie and Python guy here. I think I may be missing something here but if you look at Yesod's quickstart , the autor install some packages before cabal sandbox init . I have seen the same pattern elsewhere. Questions: Am I missing something? Is this the real way to use cabal sandbox? Why can't (or shouldn't) I install yesod-bin inside a sandbox? What if I use different versions of yesod-bin throughout some projects? If there is some libraries that install binaries inside .cabal-sandbox/bin, why cabal sandbox init don't change PATH in order to match the sandboxed version? Thank you
