Hi,
So far as I can see this is not a bug from the wx side of things.
App programmers have the ability to check the version, what they
do with that information is up to them. That some of them choose
not to assume forward compatibility is definitely a problem with
more than one app. We had precisely the problem Steve is concerned
about just before the last release, when new wx upstream had to be
imported urgently due to licencing problems in the code we had.
Shortly after we had to reupload with the version number forged
back to the old release, to avoid breaking boa-constructor (and
we clearly still don't know what else...)
Since then I have had to redefine my idea of what is, and what
is not, a 'safe' change to make before any major event...
There are fewer than I ever would have imagined a few years ago.
If there is something more we need to do from this end for the
app maintainers to do the right thing, then please let me know
promptly, and I'll ensure it is done. Otherwise, afaics, it is
an issue for the app authors to be a bit more liberal in their
version checking. The 2.4 series are all _supposed_ to be
compatible with each other (the guarantees for the 2.6 series
are a bit more wishy-washy), and it is a bug if they are not.
I'll likewise tackle a bug like that if we find it, but in this
case, we should find as many of these apps as we can, and ensure
they are fixed. Just in case we do need a last minute upload of
wx2.4 again.
As to Francesco's other problem, I'm not sure what he is doing,
but:
Python 2.3.5 (#2, Mar 19 2006, 23:18:24)
[GCC 4.0.3 (Debian 4.0.3-1)] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import wxPython
>>>
seems to make it a dependency issue or user error somewhere...
Will look at that separately if pain persists.
cheers,
Ron
