Description karpi 2015-01-02 13:48:12 UTC
I've just emerged winpdb:

alnagon ~ % eix -e winpdb
[I] dev-python/winpdb
     Available versions:  1.4.8 ~1.4.8-r1 {+wxwidgets PYTHON_TARGETS="python2_7 python3_3 python3_4"}
     Installed versions:  1.4.8(14:34:51 2.1.2015)(wxwidgets)
     Homepage:            http://winpdb.org/ http://code.google.com/p/winpdb/ http://pypi.python.org/pypi/winpdb
     Description:         Graphical Python debugger


wxpython also installed:

alnagon ~ % eix -e wxpython
[I] dev-python/wxpython
     Available versions:  
     (2.8)  2.8.12.1-r2
     (2.9)  ~2.9.4.1-r2
     (3.0)  ~3.0.0.0 ~3.0.1.1 ~3.0.2.0
       {cairo doc examples libnotify opengl PYTHON_TARGETS="python2_7"}
     Installed versions:  2.8.12.1-r2(2.8)(18:36:33 12.10.2014)(cairo opengl -doc -examples PYTHON_TARGETS="python2_7")
     Homepage:            http://www.wxpython.org/
     Description:         A blending of the wxWindows C++ class library with Python


But when I've run it, this error appears:

alnagon ~ % winpdb
wxPython was not found.
wxPython 2.6 or higher is required to run the winpdb GUI.
wxPython is the graphical user interface toolkit used by Winpdb.
You can find more information on wxPython at http://www.wxpython.org/
The Unicode version of wxPython is recommended for Winpdb.
To use the debugger without a GUI, run rpdb2.

It seems like stable winpdb depends on keyworded version of wxpython, which compiles also for python 3.

Please post your `emerge --info dev-python/winpdb' output in a comment.

Comment 3 Ian Delaney (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2015-02-03 06:37:48 UTC
wxwidgets? ( dev-python/wxpython:2.8[$(python_gen_usedep 'python2*')] )

This suggests that this package is in fact py2 only with USE wxwidgets.
The bug implies you had to build it with wxwidgets to get wxpython at all.

Note;
*winpdb-1.4.8 (23 Sep 2010).

Py3 existed then but you're talking  dev-python/wxpython py capable here.
I'm not sure where to go with this. Should the dep on dev-python/wxpython simply be expanded to include py3 capable?
