wxPython 2.1b2 wxPython is an extension module for Python that wraps the wxWindows cross platform GUI library, and is quickly becoming a very popular alternative to Tkinter and PythonWin. This extension module attempts to mirror the class hierarchy of wxWindows as closely as possible and is very versatile. It can be used to create standalone GUI applications, or can be used in in situations where Python is embedded in a wxWindows C++ application as an internal scripting or macro language. Currently supported GUIs are Win32 and GTK/X-Windows. Changes in this version: Added the missing wxWindow.GetUpdateRegion() method. Made a new change in SWIG that provides a fix for global shadow objects that get an exception in their __del__ when their extension module has already been deleted. It was only a 1 line change in .../SWIG/Modules/pycpp.cxx at about line 496 if you want to do it by hand. It is now possible to run through MainLoop more than once in any one process. The cleanup that used to happen as MainLoop completed (and prevented it from running again) has been delayed until the wxc module is being unloaded by Python. I fixed a bunch of stuff in the C++ version of wxGrid so it wouldn't make wxPython look bad. wxWindow.PopupMenu() now takes a wxPoint instead of x,y. Added wxWindow.PopupMenuXY to be consistent with some other methods. Added wxGrid.SetEditInPlace and wxGrid.GetEditInPlace. You can now provide your own app.MainLoop method. See wxPython/demo/demoMainLoop.py for an example and some explaination. Got the in-place-edit for the wxTreeCtrl fixed and added some demo code to show how to use it. Put the wxIcon constructor back in for GTK as it now has one that matches MSW's. Added wxGrid.GetCells Added wxSystemSettings static methods as functions with names like wxSystemSettings_GetSystemColour. Removed wxPyMenu since using menu callbacks have been depreciated in wxWindows. Use wxMenu and events instead. Added alternate wxBitmap constructor (for MSW only) as wxBitmapFromData(data, type, width, height, depth = 1) Added a helper function named wxPyTypeCast that can convert shadow objects of one type into shadow objects of another type. (Like doing a down-cast.) See the implementation in wx.py for some docs. Fixed wxImage GetData and SetData to properly use String objects for data transfer. Added access methods to wxGridEvent. New Makefile/Setup files supporting multiple dynamic extension modules for unix systems. Fixes for the wxGLCanvas demo to work around a strange bug in gtk. SWIG support routines now compiled separately instead of being bundled in wx.cpp. == Robin Dunn Software Craftsman robin@AllDunn.com http://AllDunn.com/robin/ http://AllDunn.com/wxPython/ Check it out!
