-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [wxPython-users] wxreactor and threadedselectreactor need our help Date: Mon, 25 Sep 2006 10:22:41 -0300 From: David Pratt <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] References: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Hi all. Recently, a thread was started by the developers of Twisted to remove the wxreactor and threadedselectreactor from the Twisted code base as of the 2.6 release. These reactors are an essential element of the Twisted networking framework used by wxpython developers for our gui platform. The bottom line is that if as a community of wxpython developers, we are not stepping up to support these tools, support for our platform will disappear. This is disconcerting and I have volunteered to assist but others are needed to help supply fixes to automated unit tests that are failing, deprecation warnings and to commit patches. Assistance is also needed to maintain a buildbot that will help keep these reactors available to the community (and tested on mulitiple platforms). I am hoping that the Chandler project can identify a person also since twisted integration is fundamental to their wxpython app. Please folks, if there are others to help with this effort, now is the time to step up. Either we do something about it now or lose it. Please see the recent posts at: http://twistedmatrix.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/twisted-python Please show your support for this excellent networking platform by stepping up and identifying you willingness to assist with the maintenance of these fundamental python networking tools for our gui platform. On a second note, there may be issues with Twisted and soon to be released wxpython 2.7 from this post: http://twistedmatrix.com/pipermail/twisted-python/2006-September/014073.html I have not yet installed 2.7 to verify this for certain but if anyone is aware of the errors it would be good to have some discussion and potential fixes for these issues before 2.7 is released.
