Description Decibels 2020-09-02 22:20:56 UTC

Created attachment 657972 [details]
wxglade ebuild file

Noticed that do its earlier prerequisite of python2.7 it has been dropped. Assuming that was the reason. According to Sourceforge it has been updated to python3. Would like to get that added back to portage.

Previous ebuild (think last) attached. I have never build a ebuild before so not sure if could do it correctly or would submit one.

It was removed by bman in https://gitweb.gentoo.org/repo/gentoo.git/commit/?id=38311722644

I cannot see which bug ticket was for the removal of 
dev-util/wxglade


Looks as it was deleted from the tree, when upstream provided already Py3 support.

wxGlade bug fix release 0.9.6 uploaded; this version is compatible with wxPython 4.1 and Python 3.8

Well, doesn't look like this is going to get done anytime soon. So will provide a little update from my end. 

Currently running as main Python 3.6.12, but have 3.7.9 & 3.8.5 install as needed. Decided to check out wxGlade at sourceforge. Looked like it can be ran local from users home folder. That is indeed the case!

Put in my home folder and runs perfectly under Python 3.6.12. Haven't tried the others yet, but at least I can now modify my two GUI's if need to now.

So unless you need it system-wide you can install it by just running it from home folder as user.
