New version available, containg (according to wxpython website) some improvements and new features. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.
Indeed, new version available, needed by wxglade (eric3 and spe IDE also have support for this revision I think.
wxPython 2.5.1 requires wxGTK 2.5. I've been testing wxGTK 2.5 and it breaks almost every package that depends on it in Gentoo. Its just a development version, and wxGlade does not need it (the latest version 0.3.3 is in portage and works with wxPython 2.4.2.4).
Oh, indeed, my fault. Sorry, I'll change status to invalid.
I looked at the wxPython site, and it appears that 2.5.1.5 is stable, not developmental. Should this be reopened?
I'll re-open this, but I think its going to be a while till it can get in portage: "wxPython is now using SWIG 1.3.x from CVS (with several of my own customizations added that I hope to get folded back into the main SWIG distribution.)"
As noted on the wxPython website, the 2.5x is not totally backward compatible with 2.4x. wxGTK is in the same situation so many applications will break, but it would still be nice to have a hard-masked ebuild for this so that developers using wxPython (myself included) can start migrating their work.

Heres an ebuild for a snapshot of 2.5.2.3 which is looking much more stable than 2.5.1.5. This will install in SLOT="2.5" and installs a private copy of wxGTK. This will not interfere with a 2.4* version of wxPython or wxGTK. To use this version you must do this in the shell before launching your wxPython app: export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/wxpy/2.5/lib export PYTHONPATH=/usr/wxpy/2.5/wxpython Its working pretty well with existing 2.4 apps but needs testing.

Rob, isn't possible to install wxPython with x11-libs/wxGTK (in any version)?
No, 2.5* won't compile with any of the official wxGTK releases so far. I mailed the author of wxPython about it but he's not going to use the official wxGTK until its closer to being stable (2.6 release I guess). I've been trying CVS checkouts periodically and his daily snapshots, but none will compile against the official version yet.
Looks like there's been yet another version bump, this time to wxPythonSrc-2.5.2.7.
Created attachment 38145 [details] wxpython-2.5.2.7.ebuild Version bump from Rob Cakebread's excellent ebuild. Changed the SRC_URI.
Created attachment 38602 [details] wxpython-2.5.2.8.ebuild 2.5.2.8 is out but doesn't compile with the official wxGTK yet. This just has a change in MY_PV and SRC_URI.
2.5.3.1 added to CVS. I won't be adding any of the lower versions in this bug report. wxGTK and wxPython are now in SLOTS 2.4 and 2.5. If you're a wxPython developer see this document for how to use multiple versions: http://wiki.wxpython.org/index.cgi/MultiVersionInstalls By default wxPython apps will use 2.4.2.4. If you're a developer who wants to test your app in both versions without changing the code, you can run: /usr/lib/python2.x/site-packages/wxpy-config.py to switch the system default version.
Rob, instead of wxpy-config.py getting placed in /usr/lib/python2.x/site-packages/, it seems to have gotten placed in /usr/lib/python/site-packages/. I don't know whether or not this is the intended location, but perhaps something to investigate. This was using the wxPython-2.5.3.1 ebuild. In addition, I am now no longer to run programs of mine which worked fine under 2.5.2.8. I now receive the following error: [code] File "/usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/wx/__init__.py", line 45, in ? File "/usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/wxPython/__init__.py", line 20, in ? ImportError: No module named wxc[/code]
Sorry, that was fixed in CVS, if you sync again and re-emerge it'll install in the correct site-packages. Once you re-emerge it, apps you wrote for 2.5.2.8 should work fine. Make sure you un-emerge 2.5.2.8 though, because it may intefere with the new scheme wxPython is using for multiple installs.
