I'm not sure either. My modifications of setup.py, which disable the accelerator for wxPython >= 2.8, should already be in the trunk. I also modified backend_wxagg.py to ignore the accelerator when running with 2.8. I haven't heard any negative feedback about these changes, but I'm not sure anyone has rigorously tested them. > 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) I'm fine with that, given that the difficulties of getting the accelerator built under Debian and Ubuntu make it pretty useless to my current target audience. It should be as simple making BUILD_WXAGG default to False.
