I updated my laptop to Mac Os 14.3.1. I installed Python 3. The configuration/instruction page in the database exchange is missing. When I run my procedure I get this error message " /usr/bin/python (not installed)". When I look in /usr/bin/ I see python3. How do I solve this?
Thanks Bill
You probably havenât configured the Panorama Preferences for Python 3.
Thank you for your help.
It feels like âIf you give a mouse a cookieâ Iâve installed python3, its toolbox, Homebrew, its config pkg., Xcode. I donât know whatâs next but Iâm sure there is something.
Sorry to bother you again butâŚ
When I test Mailbox I get:
PYTHON ERROR: File â/var/folders/1b/f4g9t4p08xj7vq0059blv3q00000gq/T/pan.2024.02.29.15.01.23.950.pyâ, line 14
âââ
^
IndentationError: expected an indented block
Panorama reports a "Sending Error: me@xyz.com (email recipient) ".
I held down the option key and clicked âAbout Mailboxâ and this message appeared:
Python: 3.9.6 (default, Dec 7 2023, 05:42:47)
[Clang 15.0.0 (clang-1500.1.0.2.5)]
The code in my procedure to send email is: FarCall âMailboxHSâ,â.SendMailâ,âcalendar entryâ
Thanks for any help you can give me,
Bill
No bother. Itâs important to me that this all works âas advertisedâ.
Python Is very picky about indentation. Staring any line with the wrong number of spaces will cause the type of error youâre encountering. But line 14 is truly a surprise unless youâve done some editing to the procedure; no accusations intended.
If youâre literally sending to mailto:me@xyz.com, thatâs certainly going to cause a sending error, but thatâs different than the spacing error and an indication that the procedure ran fully. That conflicts with the spacing error.
Mailbox shows a version number. What is yours showing?
Also, the Python error includes a path to a temporary file Panorama creates to send the message. Opened in an app like BBEdit, it shows exactly what line 14 look like. Youâre welcome to share that file but be sure to replace your email address, server, and password info with some nonsense to protect yourselfâŚ
Should I send those files to your .biz address?
Thanks,
Bill
I think he was suggesting that you open the file in BBEdit (or a similar editor) and then post the contents here on the forum, being careful to redact your personal info.
Mailbox v 3.5.
Iâm not being allowed to upload the .py file from Bbedit or the copy of Mailbox. Am I missing an attachment button ?
Bill
You can copy the text in BBEdit ( or whatever text app youâre viewing it in ) then paste it here. Ideally you then highlight it and click on the Pre-formatted text button above to format it properly.
Line 14 is: ââ . If this is the problem I imagine itâs going to happen a lot in this script. It looks like everywhere an email address goes it does this.
Thanks for looking at this.

The fact that the quotes carry over to the next line after every occurrence of your email address suggests that you have a Return entered with it.
Iâll add a filter to disallow it in the future but removing that in the Mailbox setup should make all the difference.
âbut removing that in the Mailbox setup should make all the difference.â
Sorry for the hand holding but how do I do that in Mailbox setup?
When you set up your account in the Mailbox Settings, you apparently added a Return after your email address - maybe you pasted it from elsewhere.
Based on what you shared, there should be nothing following the .org in your email address.
I did copy/paste originally but I just went thru and deleted any space and the last letter and then retyped it for every entry. Iâm still getting the same error.
Bill
Since it looks like you didnât follow Jimâs suggestion to redact this information, your gmail login information is now public on the interenet. So I would suggest that you change that ASAP, if not sooner!
I have to agree with Jim Cook, it appears that you have an extra carriage return at the end of the Sender Email Address, the UserName and the Reply to Address. I would completely delete all three of these (click in each field and press Command-A) and then manually type in each of these fields.
Ouch! I never got past the obvious returns at the beginning and didnât notice the failure to otherwise de-personalize the critical parts. I was able to edit them, but yes, theyâve now been hung out publicly and should be changed.
You may not see the fact that a Return is included if you click at the end of the email address since it amounts to a new line. Retype it or use the right arrow key to move the cursor to the right and beyond the ending âgâ. Itâll undoubtedly disappear after pong by the Return. Then the backspace key should allow you to back it up to the point where the g is absolutely the end.
The info in the Sender/Server/return is nonsense. It is not anyones info I know. Iâm going to download a new Mailbox and start over.
Thanks for your help,
Bill
