wxForty-Two

I've just released the new 2.8.7.1 build of wxPython. This release has had some bugs fixed, some minor patches applied, and also incorporates the Google Summer of Code 2007 version of XRCed, and adds the Editra source code editor. More details can be found in the changes list. wxPython source and binaries for Windows, Mac OS X and Fedora can be downloaded from the download page. Binaries for Debian and Ubuntu i386 and amd64 architectures are available in the wxWidgets APT repository, see this wiki page for details.

NOTE: On Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard) the Python 2.5 binaries of wxPython expect to be used with the user-installed version of MacPython, not the Apple installed version. A fix for this issue is being worked on for the next release. In the meantime you can either install MacPython 2.5.1 and adjust your paths so that that Python is used, or you can stick with Apple's Python and the wxPython 2.8.4.0 that comes with Leopard.

Happy Hacking!

Hi Robin,

Congrats on the new build. Any word on when a 64-bit version of wxPython will become available? I’m getting a 64-bit machine for Christmas, is compiling a 64-bit version of wxPython possible for the faint of heart such as myself?

Robin,
WxPython is great. I have used it to make a afew basic GUIs. I am trying to use PyCrust though and the File Menu is completely grayed-out except for Save and Exit.

Can you drop me a line and let me know what might be wrong, or at least where to get help.

Thank you,

Joe

The menu items in PyCrust are disabled because PyCrust is actually part of a framework of tools, and those menu items are not applicable to the PyCrust portion of the framework.

The best place to get help is on the wxPython-users mail list. See http://wxpython.org/maillist.php

Thank you.
