reassign 329237 xpilot-ng-common
thanks
Hi Ben,
Short answer is: see #328171
python-wxgtk2.6 should conflict with 2.4 << 2.4.4.1.1 for this reason,
but the problem currently exists mostly in testing where a new 2.6 has
propagated but not the new 2.4 yet. we need a m68k build of 2.4 to
'fix' it for most people in the short term.
if xpilot-ng can run with wx2.4 or 2.6 then you don't need to do
anything, and 2.6 will be the default if you have 2.4.4.1.1 or later
providing 2.4. (but this can be changed by users aware of the
alternatives mechanism and the wx.pth alternative)
Since it apparently can't, and users can change the system default
to suit themselves, you should add something like:
import wxversion
wxversion.select('2.6')
to control explicitly which version will be used at runtime.
Ditto for any other version dependent code there may be. 2.4 and
2.6 can coexist, but you are well out on the pointy end for testing
that with wxPython, so if anything else goes or looks weird, do
let me know.
cheers,
Ron
