I'm glad you asked. I agree with everything you say. I see no particular advantage to a wx plugin, and I have no desire to duplicate work and dilute the development effort. There are at least two, no three, no four, reasons for doing a bit more work (but only a little bit more work) with the wx plugin: 1. The wx gui plugin was a major failure. I blamed the wx code, but that may well have been totally unfair. In particular, the hard crashers I complained so much about may have been due to saving state. I'd like to clear the air if possible. 2. There has been ongoing discussions in IPython about a wx-based notebook. Do you think the IPython community would benefit from a wx gui plugin? 3. I would like to clean up the wx gui code so that it could be extended *by somebody else*. The present situation is a mess. Just a day or two of work will make it possible for others to use the code with some confidence. In other words, I'd like to get rid of the experimental versions of the code so that they don't deter others from working on wx if that is useful to them. 4. Finally, I simply can not bear to leave unfinished projects unfinished. It's a big drain on psychic resources. Much better to take a week or two and leave the project in a reasonable state.
