MacOS Support

[MarZab]

I was playing around with MacOS, hopefully this helps someone or me in the future.

git clone https://github.com/ScR4tCh/timebox.git
cd timebox
virtualenv env
source env/bin/activate
pip install pyobjc
pip install git+https://github.com/0-1-0/lightblue-0.4.git
pip install git+https://github.com/karulis/pybluez.git
pip install -r requirements.txt 

You'll need to change the source a bit:

    self.addr, _ = self.sock.getpeername()

to

	self.addr, _ = self.sock.getsockname()

Disconnect the timebox and make sure it's waiting for a pairing.

python timebox/timebox.py settime now

I got these errors randomly when installing/uninstalling lightblue and pybluez, I had to fiddle around installing/reinstalling them until it worked.

• AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'setSignatureForSelector'
• ImportError: Cannot load LightAquaBlue framework:

At some point, this folder got created:

/env/lib/python2.7/site-packages/lightblue/LightAquaBlue.framework/

A popup will come up asking you to pair with the Timebox, meanwhile the script will error out so you need to kill the shell and start over.

cd timebox
source env/bin/activate
python timebox/timebox.py settime now

It will show a error, but it will work!

(env) MarkBookPro:timebox marko$ python timebox/timebox.py settime now

You saved my day 👍

After all, I use upstream https://github.com/pybluez/pybluez instead, in whichlightblue is embed.

pip install --no-cache-dir git+https://github.com/pybluez/pybluez.git

Install without cache dir may help to resolve Cannot load LightAquaBlue framework issue. I think bdist_wheel prevent xcodebuild from building the project.

For posterity, these are the extra steps I took to make it work in Mac OS 10.10.3:

1. Start as stated by op until (including) pip install pyobjc
2. Don't install lightblue since pybluez embeds its own version (and it's different)
3. (Make sure you have Xcode installed before the next step, not just the Command Line Tools)
4. Clone https://github.com/pybluez/pybluez.git, open pybluez/macos/LightAquaBlue/LightAquaBlue.xcodeproj, follow this steps in order to fix the "does not contain scheme" error, cd and python setup.py install
5. Finally install the requirements, edit timebox/timebox.py with the op fix and replace all ord(c) with just c

Alternatively, you can clone MarcG046's fork saving you the last step, and adding some functionality on top.

Three hours of "gotchas" later, I can now search and send gifs to my Timebox-mini directly from Alfred :')
