Changed: A trunk/blog/Announcements/WarningAboutWx27.txt Log: Added an announcement warning people not to use wxPython 2.7 with Dabo.

However, the good folks over at wxWidgets have decided to turbo +charge the effort to get wx2.8 out the door so it can be included in the +next release of Apple's OS X. The upshot: wxWidgets 2.7 only just appeared +on the scene, yet 2.8 is just around the corner, and current Dabo does not +work with it, because of the way property definitions work in Python +mix-in classes. Basically, some of wxPython's properties are trumping +Dabo's, even though Dabo should be the subclass and thus trump everything.</p> + +<p>No worries, though. We know how to proceed, but have decided to wait until +after the first release of Dabo-0.7. Once we have the fix in 0.8, we'll +backport it to the Dabo-0.7 stable version. So, just be patient for now and +keep using wxPython 2.6.x with Dabo.</p> + _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/dabo-dev
