Announcing ---------- wxPython 2.9.5.0 (classic) has been released and is now available for download at http://wxpython.org/download.php. There have been a few enhancements and additions, and lots of bugs fixed. More details are below.
Various binaries are available for 32-bit and 64-bit Windows, and also for OSX using the Carbon and Cocoa APIs, for Python 2.6 and 2.7. Source code is also available at http://wxpython.org/download.php of course, for building your own. What is wxPython? ----------------- wxPython is a GUI toolkit for the Python programming language. It allows Python programmers to create programs with a robust, highly functional graphical user interface, simply and easily. It is implemented as a set of Python extension modules that wrap the GUI components of the popular wxWidgets cross platform library, which is written in C++. wxPython is a cross-platform toolkit. This means that the same program will usually run on multiple platforms without modifications. Currently supported platforms are 32-bit and 64-bit Microsoft Windows, most Linux or other Unix-like systems using GTK2, and Mac OS X 10.4+. In most cases the native widgets are used on each platform to provide a 100% native look and feel for the application. Changes in 2.9.5.0 ------------------ wx.media.MediaCtrl on OSX-cocoa now has a functioning back-end using the QTKit framework, so it works when running in either 32-bit or 64-bit mode. Printing triggered from a Javascript window.print() statement will now work on OSX when using the old wx.webkit or the new wx.html2 browser controls. Updated Scintilla code to verison 3.21 Lots of fixes and improvements in the wxWidgets code. Changed the wx.DateTime.Parse* methods to work like they did in wxPython 2.8, they now return an integer indicating how far in to the string that the parser parsed, or -1 on error. Updated wx.lib.pdfviewer with patches from David Hughes. -- Robin Dunn Software Craftsman http://wxPython.org -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-announce-list Support the Python Software Foundation: http://www.python.org/psf/donations/
