wxPython 2.9.2.3 Release

wxPython 2.9.2.3 has been released. This release fixes a bug that was causing the base class methods of wx.richtext.RichTextCtrl to be called incorrectly, causing a crash.

wxPython 2.9.2.4 Release

Here we go again. wxPython 2.9.2.4 has been released. This build fixes an indentation bug that crept in somewhere along the way and that caused the Mac installer to fail as it compiled the .py files

wxPython 2.9.2.2 Release

wxPython 2.9.2.2 has been released. This build adds some fixes for some annoying and subtle bugs, and also a couple nice new features. The Cairo version of the wx.GraphicsContext back-end can now be used on Windows, and there is a new module in the library that helps wx applications to update themselves when new versions of the software are released.

wxPython 2.8.12.0 released

This is pretty much a bug-fix only release, although some of the 3rd party modules in wx.lib have also been updated and include some new features.  You can download it from the wxPython download page.  As always you should join the wxPython-users group hosted at GoogleGroups for questions, support, comments, or just for the sake of being part of an awesome community.

Python Book Deals

While browsing around on the Packt Publishing web site after looking at the page for Cody's book I saw that there are currently a couple promotional deals that may interest some of you. There is the Python Month deal that will give you 20% off any Python book they publish, or 30% off of any Python eBook.  The other deal is that you can currently get any 5 eBooks from Packt for \$40.

New wxPython Book

The wxPython community now has a 2nd book about our favorite UI toolkit. The book is "wxPython 2.8 Application Development Cookbook" written by Cody Precord and published by Packt Publishing. Cody is the creator of the awesome Editra source code editor and a frequent participant on the wxPython-users mail list. There is an eBook version of the text available from Packt Publishing, and you can get the printed version from Packt or from other booksellers such as amazon.com.

I haven't read all the recipes yet, but from what I've seen so far I can say that they are informative and do a good job of explaining the demonstrated techniques and the concepts used or implemented in the sample source code.  I think that there will be something for everyone in this book, from newbies all the way up to experienced users.

Congrats Cody!
