Hi,
I have also a problem when using CowLog1.1, but in windows 7.
It's my first time with the program in this computer.
When I open a video file, I get the error message in cowlog.exe:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "CowLog.py", line 126, in
File "CowLog.py", line 167, in code1
NameError: global name 'datafile' is not defined

Could you help me?

Many Thanks!!

Hi,

I have also encountered a similar problem when opening CowLog1.1 on a MacBook Pro 2.66Ghz Intel Core i7 Macintosh OS X 10.6.3(leopard). Specifically, when I click on any of the ".py" files in the CowLog1.1 folder. A terminal was opened with my computer info, not the screen shot image shown on the CowLog website.

As a fix, I attempted to follow the instructions listed on your blog. However, my knowledge of macs and programming jargon is quite limited. I have downloaded Python 2.7 and qt 4.6. I noticed the icons in the CowLog1.1 folder changed to a to a blue and yellow double "s" like character. When I attempted to open any ".py" documents in CowLog1.1, I received the following error in a pop out box:

"IDLE's subprocess didn't make connection. Either IDLE can't start a subprocess or personal firewall is blocking the connection."

I am unable to replicate the rest the of your instructions, mainly because of my limited understanding of your instructions. Is there a specific compiler you used to compile qt 4.6? Also where do I enter the your below written code (it is the blue code in your blog)? in the compiler? terminal?

"so first I compiled Qt 4.6RC (should have Snow Leopard support, this DMG might work) from source using:

./configure -arch x86_64
gmake
sudo gmake install "

What additional steps to I need to take to get CowLog working in a Mac?
Thank you in advance for any assistance you may provide.

Hello all,

I am new in here, and have just downloaded CowLog.
But I simply can't run the app, perhaps due to config requisites. Whenever I try to open both files CowLog.py and/or CowLog_VLC.py, I get the following error message in Terminal:

cd '/Applications/CowLog1.1_MacOSX/' && '/usr/bin/pythonw' '/Applications/CowLog1.1_MacOSX/CowLog.py' && echo Exit status: $? && exit 1
iMac-de-BBarros:~ breno_eduardo$ cd '/Applications/CowLog1.1_MacOSX/' && '/usr/bin/pythonw' '/Applications/CowLog1.1_MacOSX/CowLog.py' && echo Exit status: $? && exit 1
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/Applications/CowLog1.1_MacOSX/CowLog.py", line 4, in
from PyQt4 import QtGui, QtCore
ImportError: No module named PyQt4

The error message is the same for both files.

Could anyone help me please?

I intend to run CowLog in a iMac 2.66Ghz Intel Core 2Duo, 2Gb RAM
Macintosh OS X 10.6.4

Many thanks in advance!
