Bug 210937 – wxPython wxversion module should not be versioned

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE

[Description Glynn Clements 2008-02-21 02:51:45 UTC]

The wxversion module from wxPython has an embedded version number (e.g. wxversion.py-2.6). While this avoids a conflict, it means that "import wxversion" fails.

As the whole point of wxversion is to allow the selection of a specific version of wxPython, there is no need to have multiple versions. The 2.6 and 2.8 versions are virtually identical.

There is, however, a need to have something that works with "import wxversion".

As it stands, any wxPython program which has multi-version support will fail on Gentoo.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.python
2.import wxversion
3.

Actual Results:  
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
ImportError: No module named wxversion



Both wxpython-2.6.4.0 and wxpython-2.8.7.1 are installed.

No it shouldn't... http://wiki.wxpython.org/index.cgi/MultiVersionInstalls
