The general policy for Python is to support version 2.n-1 when 2.n is
the current version, but not older versions than that.

There was recently a 2.3.6 release with a security fix, but this is
really an exception. Since Python 2.5 was released, Python 2.4 is the
oldest supported Python version.

I was about to give a reference to the appropriate PEP, but right now
I can't for my life figure out where I read this... I'm just a bit more
brain dead than usual today, due to some virus.

That's the policy for python-dev.  Library providers that care about the 
users should, if they possibly can, support older versions than that.

(especially if they *used* to support it; there's seldom any need to 
immediately remove *existing* support for a given Python version when
a new Python release arrives..)

The 2.7.1.3 release of wxPython is now available for download at
http://wxpython.org/download.php.  This release is a yet another
quick-turnaround bugfix release designed to solve some problems, plust
some minor enhancements.  This will likely be the last 2.7.1.x
release.  Source and binaries are available for both Python 2.4 and
2.5 for Windows and Mac, as well some pacakges for varous Linux
distributions.  A summary of changes is listed below and also at
http://wxpython.org/recentchanges.php.


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 Python extension module that wraps 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 Microsoft Windows, most Linux
or other Unix-like systems using GTK2, and Mac OS X 10.3+, in most
cases the native widgets are used on each platform.


Changes in 2.7.1.3
--

wxGTK:  The wx.ALWAYS_SHOW_SB style is now supported.

Fixed name errors in the old wxPython package namespace.  As a
reminder, use of this package is deprecated and you are encouraged to
switch your programs over to the wx package.

Fixed wx.glcanvas.GLCanvas.SetCurrent to be compatible with prevoius
versons.

Added wx.StandardPaths.GetTmpDir.

Bug fixes in the wx.ListCtrl on Mac from Kevin Olivier, allowing it to
send events properly again.  There is also a new native implementation
of wx.ListCtrl available, which will be used for wx.LC_REPORT style
list controls if you set the mac.listctrl.always_use_generic
SystemOption to zero.  In a future release this will be the default.

Added a sample to the demo that shows some of what can be done with
the new wx.GraphicsContext and wx.GraphicsPath classes.

Hi Robin,

You may want to use a spell checker for announcements and for the
wxpython.org website. For example, the first paragraph of your
announcement contains the words plust and pacakges, and the word
pacakge can also be found on the following pages:

www.wxpython.org/download.php
www.wxpython.org/wxPython.spec
www.wxpython.org/CHANGES.html

Oh, it's fun to be a speling fanatic! :-)

Cheers,
Johann
