I think all the real work is done, but I"m not totally sure what's checked in now. There may be some changes needed to the build scripts so that it doesn't try to build the accelerator by default. > I am in favor of getting *all* the GUI dependent extension code out of > MPL -- it is a support nightmare. Actually, that's my proposal (and I think what Ken has done). The latest pure-python back-end uses wxPython2.8 methods to transfer the buffer. I propose that we just stop building the accelerator, and if people want better performance they need to switch to 2.8 (actually, I think the pre-2.8 code could be improved with pure python too, but I"m not going to bother, as I use 2.8 anyway) > But I don't want to hold up the > release cycle with known bugs in the wild unless someone says, "wait I > just need a day or two". I'll try to see if I can find a few hours to test and fix this stuff, but I've got some tight deadlines right now. If you don't hear from me or Ken, then I guess you might as well release away!
