mac os x, lilypondtool, jedit, a puzzle

[Stan Sanderson]

In the interest of improving a great tool, I ask...

I'm sure I'm not the only one using jEdit with LilyPondTool on Mac OS  
10 (10.4.11, PPC). I've had a dialogue with Bertalan Fodor (author of  
LilyPondTool) concerning its use on the Mac OS. He doesn't have  
access to a Mac and consequently finds answering my question difficult.

So, is there anyone using the Mac version of LilyPondTool who has  
found a way of successfully invoking convert-ly?

The problem appears to be related to differences in how the Mac and  
Windows versions use Python. From what Bertalan has suggested,  
LilyPondTool translates "convert-ly" to "<local path to Python>/ 
convert-ly.py --edit <lilypond file name>".

From the jEdit Activity Log...

9:36:26 AM [notice] AWT-EventQueue-0: '/Users/ssanders/Desktop/test1.ly'
9:36:26 AM [notice] AWT-EventQueue-0: command: convert-ly  
[Ljava.lang.String;@98ba6f
9:36:26 AM [error] AWT-EventQueue-0: java.io.IOException: / 
Applications/LilyPond.app/Contents/Resources/bin//python: not found
9:36:26 AM [error] AWT-EventQueue-0:  at  
java.lang.UNIXProcess.forkAndExec(Native Method)

The same results are observed if the .py suuffix is included on the  
convert-ly command.

I can invoke "lilypond --version" successfully from the jEdit Console  
so the path to Lilypond appears to be correct. Invoking "convert-ly -- 
version" (or convert-ly.py" produces an error message.

I have not found a way to communicate with the contents of / 
Applications/LilyPond.app/Contents/Resources/bin/ (other than  
lilypond itself) when using LilyPondTool.

Any solutions?
