Installing readline for python on Mac OS X Tiger
If you like to use your arrow keys in an interactive Python on OS X, you definately need readline…. If you download the patch files yourself from ftp://ftp.cwru.edu/pub/bash/readline-5.1-patches (readline51-00[1-4]) and put them in /opt/local/var/db/dports/distfiles/readline, then port install readline will work.

get kaa.metadata (mmpython) running on OS X
go into kaa/base and edit setup.py by changing (line 36) this extensions.append( Extension(‘shmmodule’, ['src/extensions/shmmodule.c']) ) to this #extensions.append( Extension(‘shmmodule’, ['src/extensions/shmmodule.c']) ) or use this diff: 36c36 < extensions.append( Extension(‘shmmodule’, ['src/extensions/shmmodule.c']) ) — > #extensions.append( Extension(‘shmmodule’, ['src/extensions/shmmodule.c']) ) until now the support for cdrom drives only works on Linux, so i disabled it on OS X. now go to kaa/metadata and edit setup.py: change this ext_modules = [ cdrom, ifoparser ] to #ext_modules = [ cdrom, ifoparser ] ext_modules = [ ifoparser ] and change this ext_modules = [ cdrom ] to #ext_modules = [ cdrom ] ext_modules = [ ] or use this diff: 58c58,59 < ext_modules = [ cdrom, ifoparser ] — > #ext_modules = [ cdrom, ifoparser ] > ext_modules = [ ifoparser ] 61c62,63 < ext_modules = [ cdrom ] — > #ext_modules = [ cdrom ] > ext_modules = [ ] now go back to kaa/base and install the kaa.base package: $ sudo python setup.py install now go to kaa/metadata and install the kaa.metadata package: $ sudo python setup.py install you may use a different python instance, like /opt/python24/bin/python or something else if you don’t wanna install kaa into the default python on OS X.

kupu resize images
I always had the problem, that i could resize (drag with my mouse) images inside kupu, but when i save the document the image has its original size 
Today i found the solution to this problem here To enable kupu to keep the resize information upon save you have to add width and height to the style whitelist in the kupu preferences in your site preferences.
