Hi Mike,

Thanks for your help over the weekend.

Indeed, with your help I was able to patch Xlib and recompile nxproxy,  
so that python-x2go works on yosemite!

My fork of Python X2GO 0.4.0.8 is quite modified to tailor the  
specifics of the product my company is working on
(https://www.lytmus.io/ <https://www.lytmus.io/>), but the basic  
changes to get it working on Mac and Yosemite are trivial, and I have  
included them below.
By the way, I’m happy to test the new release of Python X2go 0.5 over  
the next weekend, just let me know.


Python-Xlib 0.15rc1
Replace two instances of:
	host.startswith('/tmp/')   	——>         host.startswith('/')


NXproxy
Apply this patch and recompile:
http://code.x2go.org/gitweb?p=nx-libs.git;a=commitdiff;h=b0727a02ff417b3983b10e02dbc1eb9a4878b2ac  
<http://code.x2go.org/gitweb?p=nx-libs.git;a=commitdiff;h=b0727a02ff417b3983b10e02dbc1eb9a4878b2ac>
Neverpanic helped me recompile nxproxy and nxcomp.


python x2go 0.4.0.8
You just need to specify the path to the nxproxy file on the Mac package.
The code below is specific to how I package my app (I use py2app).

    else:
	self.PROXY_CMD = "/usr/bin/nxproxy

        elif _X2GOCLIENT_OS == 'Darwin':
            if hasattr(sys, 'frozen'):    # if client app is frozen
                self.PROXY_CMD = join(os.environ['RESOURCEPATH'], 'nxproxy')
            else:
                self.PROXY_CMD = join(x2go_abs, 'contrib', 'mac’,  
nxproxy', 'nxproxy')

     elif _X2GOCLIENT_OS == 'Linux':
            if hasattr(sys, 'frozen'):    # if client app is frozen
                self.PROXY_CMD = join(os.environ['RESOURCEPATH'],  
'nxproxy', 'start_nxproxy')
            else:
                self.PROXY_CMD = join(x2go_abs, 'contrib', 'linux’,  
'nxproxy', 'start_nxproxy')
