[AG-DEV] Shared Presentation / Debugging Python Executables on Mac

Hi,

I'm trying to work out why Shared Presentation isn't working on a MacBook
running AG 3.1beta1. I've been trying to debug this but my "primitive
Windows techniques" don't seem to work on OS X! In particular, I can see
from the Venue Client log runs:

/usr/bin/pythonw SharedPresentation.py -v <vurl> -a <aurl> -c <curl>

(where I've abbreviated the URLs)

However, I can't just run this from the command line, as it does not know
where to find SharedApplication.py. I'm not sure if there's some black magic
which means that Mac applications automatically add to their path the
contents of the application package, or whether I just need to run some
script or something that will set up the paths.

If anyone can suggest to me the easiest way to emulate running programs
using the lines from the log file, I'd appreciate it.

Also, if anyone happens to have run up against similar issues with shared
presentation, then I'd be interested to know if you've made any progress.
Currently when I start shared presentation I see neither the shared
presentation controller or the MS PowerPoint window.

Thanks in advance for any advice,

Adam
