73adcb01 1Recent Changes for wxPython
8eda5e35 2=====================================================================
6d75ea8f 3
8839b5ee
RD
42.6.0.0
5-------
6
7wxGTK: wx.StaticText can wrap text if the width is set to an explicit
8value.
9
10
11
12
13
14
152.5.5.1
41c48dbb
RD
16-------
17
18wxMSW: Fixed bug #1022383, 'several ComboBoxes appear selected'
19
20wx.grid.Grid: Fixed bug #1163384. Moved the code that handles
21activating the cell editors to a EVT_CHAR event handler. This is done
22so the character inserted into the editor will be the "cooked" char
23value (including accented or composed keys) rather than the raw code
24provided by the EVT_KEY_DOWN event.
25
26Added orient parameter to wx.MDIParentFrame.Tile()
27
28wxMSW: wxTextCtrl with wx.TE_RICH2 style now uses RichEdit 4.1 if
29available.
30
31Added GetCount, GetCountRGB, and GetCountColour methods to
32wx.ImageHistogram.
33
27ed367c
RD
34wxMSW: wx.Window.Refresh changed to explicitly refresh all children as
35well as the parent. Previously it was implicitly done because parents
36did not clip their children by default. Now that they always clip
37children then Refresh needed to be fixed to do a recursive refresh.
38This also fixes the Freeze/Thaw problems that some people had with
392.5.4.1.
40
41wx.SplitterWindow: Send EVT_SPLITTER_SASH_POS_CHANGED only once after
42end of dragging and not after each CHANGING event (modified patch
43#1076226)
44
45wx.glcanvas.GLCanvas: applied patch fixing problems with X server
46crash when using nVidia cards (patch 1155132)
47
42f5333f
RD
48wx.lib.mixins.listctrl: Patches from Toni Brkic:
49 * Bugfix for TextEditMixin when the view can't be scrolled
50 * Enhancement for ListCtrlAutoWidthMixin, allowing it to manage
51 the width of any column.
52
53wxMac: removal and reusing toolbar tools like the other platforms is
54now possible.
55
56wxMac: Correct radio tool selection after calling Realize a 2nd time.
57
58wxMSW: Applied patch #1166587, removes all flicker from wx.StaticBox
59
60Added wx.lib.foldpanelbar, Andrea Gavana's port of Jorgen Bodde's C++
61wxFoldPanelBar classes to Python.
62
a2e26438
RD
63wxGTK: Applied patch #1173802, reimplementation of GtkFileChooser
64wxFileDialog by Mart Raudsepp. Note that this new file dialog is only
65used on GTK2 >= 2.4. For earlier GTK2 versions and GTK1 then the
66older generic file dialog is used.
67
68wxMSW: fixes to static box borders calculations (finalizes patch
69#1166587)
70
71wx.Image: Use Python's buffer interface API for all image data and
72alpha Set/Get methods and the ImageFromData* constructors. They all
73still copy the buffer except for SetDataBuffer and SetAlphaBuffer, but
74this gives more flexibility on where the data can come from.
75
2a13beb3 76Added MDI support to XRC
b1baed85 77
2e5aa9c4
RD
78Added wx.animate module and a demo. The wx.animate module provides a
79control that is able to display an animated GIF file.
80
81wx.lib.plot.py: Applied patch from Werner F. Bruhin that allows either
82vertical and/or horizontal gridlines.
83
b508ae3a
RD
84wxMSW: Extra space given for top border of wx.StaticBoxSizer so the
85upper line is not cliped when there is no label.
86
87wxMSW: Restored old behaviour of wx.StaticBox.SetBackgroundColour only
88affecting the label.
89
90wxMSW: Fixed missing EVT_RIGHT_DOWN and EVT_TREE_ITEM_RIGHT_CLICK
91events in a wx.TreeCtrl.
92
791fbf34
RD
93Added wx.GetTopLevelWindows() function which returns a copy of the
94list of top-level windows that currently exist in the application.
2e5aa9c4 95
3fa8f722
RD
96Updated docview library modules and sample apps from the ActiveGrid
97folks.
98
1f780e48 99Added the ActiveGrid IDE as a sample application.
b1baed85 100
41c48dbb 101
ca8071ca 102
8839b5ee 103
2da0c077 1042.5.4.1
ca8071ca
RD
105-------
106
3c1705d9 107wx.Sizer Add, Insert, and Prepend functions now return a reference to the
6b9f434e
RD
108wx.SizerItem that was added to the sizer, and the wx.SizerItem has a
109GetRect accessor to give the position of the item on the parent window.
7aada1e0
RD
110
111Added wx.Sizer.GetItem method which returns the wx.SizerItem for the given
112wx.Window, wx.Sizer or position index.
113
114wxMSW: wx.RadioButtons in the same group no longer have to be
115consecutive (there may be intervening controls). Without this fix, an
116out-of-sync assert is generated when clicking on a radio button and
117then calling GetValue().
118
b3b61cda 119Some XRC changes:
66b50a8f
RD
120 - Added 'icon' property to wxFrame and wxDialog
121 - No longer ignores menu bitmaps on non-MSW platforms
122 - Notebook page bitmaps are now supported
9828eeb4 123 - added system colours and fonts support (based on patch #1038207)
7aada1e0
RD
124
125wxMSW: fix for [ 1052989 ] TextCtrl.SetBackgroundColour(wx.NullColour)
126bug.
127
128Added wx.PasswordEntryDialog analagous to wx.TextEntryDialog, allows
129detecting entering an empty string vs. cancel unlike the
130wx.GetPasswordFromUser dialog function.
131
ca8071ca
RD
132OGL patch from Shane Holloway:
133
134 Two simple problems found in the new python ogl code. First is
b3b61cda 135 the patch for _canvas.py. Essentially::
ca8071ca
RD
136
137 dx = abs(dc.LogicalToDeviceX(x - self._firstDragX))
138 dy = abs(dc.LogicalToDeviceY(y - self._firstDragY))
139
140 was incorrect because (x,y) and (self._firstDragX,
141 self._firstDragY) are both already in Logical coordinates.
142 Therefore the difference between the two is also in logical
143 coordinates, and the conversion call is an error. This bug
144 surfaces when you have OGL on a scrollwin, and you are far from
145 the origin of the canvas.
146
147 The second change in _composit.py basically removes the assumption
148 that the child is in both self._children and self._divisions.
149 Causes many problems when it's not. ;)
150
22685693
RD
151Fixed GetSaveData and SetSaveData in wx.lib.multisash to not depend on
152the default way that class objectss are converted to strings.
ca8071ca 153
3c1705d9 154Fixed problem in StyledTextCtrl.Set[HV]ScrollBar that could leave the
7aada1e0
RD
155internal scrollbar visible.
156
157Added wx.StandardPaths which provides methods for determining standard
158system paths for each platform.
159
9828eeb4
RD
160wxMSW: The window background is now only erased by default if the
161background colour or background mode has been changed. This better
162allows the default system themed behaviour to show through for
163uncustomized windows. Explicit support added for using the correct
164theme texture for wx.Notebook pages and their children.
165
166wx.Image: Added support for alpha channels in interpolated and
167non-interpolated image rotation. Added ConvertAlphaToMask helper
168method for turning shades of grey into shades of alpha and a colour.
169
170wxGTK2: Reimplemented DoDrawRotatedText() by way of a rotation of an
171alpha blended text bitmap. It would be better if Pango could draw
172directly into an wxImage (as FreeType can,) but that is for later...
173
3c1705d9
RD
174Added wrappers and a demo for the wx.MediaCtrl class, which can play
175various forms of audio/video media using native codecs install on the
176system. So far it is only implemented for Windows and OSX.
850ab20b
RD
177
178wxGTK: Patch applied for Freeze()/Thaw() for wxTextCtrtl.
179
180Added "gravity" for splitter window (patch 1046105). Gravity is a
181floating-point factor between 0.0 and 1.0 which controls position of
182sash while resizing the wx.SplitterWindow. The gravity specifies
183how much the left/top window will grow while resizing.
184
185wxMSW: wx.Slider's C++ implementation rewritten to be more
186maintainable and hopefully less buggy. The position of the labels has
187also been changed in order to better comply with Microsoft's examples
188of how to use the control.
9828eeb4 189
94fd5e4d
RD
190wxMSW: Fix wx.TreeCtrl to end label editing if the control loses
191focus (a slightly modified patch 1084592.)
192
193Added wx.EXEC_NODISABLE flag for wx.Execute, which will prevent all
194the app's windows being disabled while a synchronous child process is
195running.
196
197wxMSW: Much work to correct painting (or leaving transparent) of
198control backgrounds, properly using background themes on XP, etc.
199
200Fixed a circular reference problem with wx.Timer. It will now
201completely cleanup after itself when the last reference to the timer
202is removed. If you were previously using timer.Destroy() to cleanup
203your timers it will no longer work. Instead you should hold a
204reference to the timer and then del the reference when you are
205finished with the timer.
7aada1e0 206
3c1705d9
RD
207Updated to 1.3.24 of SWIG. All of my big patches have been applied to
208the main SWIG source tree, but unfortunatly there were also some bugs
209added that affected the wxPython build and a few details in my
210original patch were changed/removed, so we are still not free of
211patches. A new patch for SWIG is located in the wxPython/SWIG
212directory of the wxPython source tree. SWIG 1.3.24 plus this patch
213should be used by anyone who is making custom modifications to
b3b61cda 214wxPython's .i files, or building their own extension modules or
3c1705d9
RD
215etc. that need to interact with the wxPython swigged types. For the
216morbidly curious, here are a few more details:
217
218 * Since it is now possible easily and simply share the SWIG type
219 tables across modules I reverted to always using the stock SWIG
220 runtime instead of my slightly hacked up version of it exported
221 via the wxPython C API.
222
54e72b1a 223 * The %name directive is now deprecated so I replaced most uses of
3c1705d9
RD
224 it with a custom %Rename macro that uses %rename internally.
225 These will evetually need to be replaced with a DocDecl macro
aeee37c3 226 when docstrings are added for those items.
3c1705d9
RD
227
228 * The "this" attribute of all SWIGged classes is no longer a
229 string containing a "swigified pointer", but rather a custom
230 built-in type that holds the real C pointer to the object and
231 the type info. It can be converted to a string like the old
232 value using str() or to the long integer value of the pointer
233 using long().
234
669e06d7
RD
235Added SetDefaultPyEncoding and GetDefaultPyEncoding functions which
236will set/get the encoding used by wxPython to convert string or
237unicode objects to/from wxString objects. Previously the default
238Python encoding was always used, but unless the user had tweaked their
239sitecustomize.py file it is always "ascii", which would result in
240errors if the strings contained character codes >= 128.
241SetDefaultPyEncoding will now allow you to control which encoding will
242be used to do those conversions. The default encoding is set to the
243value of `locale.getdefaultlocale()[1]` when wxPython is first
244imported. Please see http://www.alanwood.net/demos/charsetdiffs.html
9283228f
RD
245for information on the differences between the common latin/roman
246encodings.
247
248Added wxStdDialogButtonSizer, which is a a special sizer that knows
249how to order and position standard buttons in order to conform to the
250current platform's standards. You simply need to add each `wx.Button`
251to the sizer, and be sure to create the buttons using the standard
7257be76 252ID's. Then call `Realize` and the sizer will take care of the rest.
669e06d7 253
d31aa173
RD
254wxMSW Toolbar: pass correct tool id (and not always -1) to the
255EVT_TOOL_RCLICKED handler
256
b76160ef 257wxGTK: Applied patch for combo box SELECTED events (no longer get
d31aa173
RD
258lots of surplus events)
259
260wxGTK: Applied patch for proper menu highlight colour detection in
261wx.SystemSettings.
3c1705d9 262
aeee37c3
RD
263wxGTK: Commited scrollbar patch #1093339 which sends lineup, linedown
264events based on intercepting the mouse down events.
265
266wxGTK: Applied patch #1102789 which solved conflicts between wxWidgets
267and GTK+'s context menu code.
268
269wxGTK: Applied patch #1100327 for correct feedback from DND actions
270(not all actions are allowed).
271
b3b61cda 272Fixed memory leak in wxGrid::UpdateAttr[Rows][Or][Cols] (patch 1104355)
aeee37c3
RD
273
274For efficiency reasons, text controls no longer set the string for
275each text updated event, but rather query for the string value only
276when GetString is called from an event handler.
277
278Added wx.SL_INVERSE style which will cause wx.Slider to invert the min
c6b65b76 279and max ends of the slider.
aeee37c3 280
e6bd0b8b
RD
281Several patches applied, such as #1111174, #1110252 and others, that
282make the generic wx.TreeCtrl (used on wxGTK and wxMac) be more
283conistent with the wxMSW native wx.TreeCtrl.
284
e6bd0b8b
RD
285XRCed:
286 * Edit->Locate command (Ctrl-L) for quick selection of items.
287 Works with event-handling controls (buttons, text fields) but
288 not with labels/sizers.
289 * Some improvements: relative paths for files supplied as command-
290 line argument work correctly, notebook panels are highlighted
291 better.
292
293wxMac: Fixed a long-standing issue where wxSlider controls with a
294hardcoded size would misplace their labels behind the slider control.
295
296wx.HtmlListBox fixed so calling RefreshLine(s) will cause the data for
b3b61cda
RD
297that line to be refetched from the overridden methods in the derived
298class.
e6bd0b8b
RD
299
300The default DoGetBestSize now includes the difference (if any) between
b3b61cda
RD
301the client size and total size of the window, (such as the size of
302borders.) Code that sets the client size using the best size, or that
303added extra space to sizers to compensate for this bug may need to be
304changed.
305
306Can suppress themed notebook pages with the wxNB_NOPAGETHEME style or
307setting system option msw.notebook.themed-background to 0.
308
309wxSyledTextCtrl updated to use Scintilla 1.62.
310
311Can now set the msw.window.no-clip-children system option to 1 to
312eliminate weird refresh behaviour (delays between a window being
313erased and repainted, giving a ghostly gradual-redraw effect). May be
314a temporary 'fix' until properly fixed before 2.6.
e6bd0b8b 315
b3b61cda
RD
316wxMac: Toolbar is now more native looking with borderless toolbar
317buttons.
e6bd0b8b 318
67a5217c
RD
319wxMac: Switched wx.Bitmap to use newer Quartz object types and APIs
320internally. This results in faster display and better alpha support.
321
b3b61cda 322Added wx.DatePickerCtrl.
aeee37c3 323
51c5e1f2
RD
324wx.html.HtmlWindow now supports background images.
325
326Added wx.lib.gestures module from Daniel Pozmanter which supports
327using Mouse Gestures in an application.
328
2da0c077
RD
329wxGTK2: ENTER and LEAVE mouse events are now sent for multi-line text
330controls.
331
332wxMSW: "Alt" key (VK_MENU) now results in WXK_ALT keyboard event, not
333WXK_MENU
334
d1dc2b32
RD
335Added modules from Peter Yared and Morgan Hua that implement the wx
336Doc/View framework in pure Python code. See wx.lib.docview for the
337base implementation and wx.lib.pydocview for Python-specific
338extensions. There are also a couple sample applications located in
339samples/docview.
2da0c077 340
e63d6c30
RD
341Added GetBitmap, GetIcon to wx.ImageList.
342
343wxGTK wx.Button.SetLabel no longer invalidates/resets the font.
344
345wx.Sizer.AddWindow, AddSizer, AddSpacer and etc. have now been
346undeprecated at the request of Riaan Booysen, the Boa Constructor team
347lead. Boa needs them to help keep track of what kind of item is being
348managed by the sizer. They are now just simple compatibility aliases
349for Add, and etc.
350
a0c70b76
RD
351The old C++ version of the OGL lib is no longer built by default. Use
352the Python version in the wx.lib.ogl package instead.
353
354The wx.iewin module is no longer built by default. You can use the
355wx.lib.iewin version instead.
356
67a5217c
RD
357Fixed wx.BufferedPaintDC for scrolled windows to work whether the
358buffer is covering only the client area or the full virtual area of
359the scrolled window. By default it will assume that only the client
3ad32bab
RD
360area is covered. This is different than the old behavior so to
361indicate that the entire virtual area is covered simply add a
362style=wx.BUFFER_VIRTUAL_AREA parameter.
67a5217c
RD
363
364wx.gizmos.TreeListCtrl: Add support for the EVT_TREE_ITEM_GETTOOLTIP
365event.
2da0c077 366
2314e5ec
RD
367Added Resize, SetRGBRect, Size, and GetOrFindMaskColour methods to
368wx.Image.
369
370Added wx.Rect.IsEmpty
371
7b625c31
RD
372wxGTK:
373 - Corrected wx.ListBox selection handling
374 - Corrected default button size handling for different themes
375 - Corrected splitter sash size and look for different themes
376 - Fixed keyboard input for dead-keys
2314e5ec 377
7aada1e0 378
ca8071ca
RD
379
380
0dece789 3812.5.3.1
4f5ff1b2
RD
382-------
383
384wxMac focus and border refreshes corrected.
385
386Updated internal PNG library.
387
388wxMac fix for metal appearance on wx.ToolBar.
389
390wx.grid.Grid fix allowing DoGetBestSize to be called before CreateGrid
391(which means that a min size doesn't need to be specified.)
392
393wxMac fix for not sending a native click to a control if it is not
394enabled (does an enable itself)
395
31b46829
RD
396Added wx.lib.ogl.DrawnShape, and fixed various little bugs in the new
397OGL.
4f5ff1b2
RD
398
399Added support to XRC and XRCed for the 3-state checkbox flags and also
400for wx.ToggleButton. Updated the generic window styles supported by
401XRCed.
402
403It is now possible to create "stock" buttons. Basically this means
71e60f70
RD
404that you only have to provide one of the stock IDs (and either an
405empty label or a label that matches the stock label) when creating the
406button and wxWidgets will choose the stock label to go with it
407automatically. Additionally on the platforms that have a native
408concept of a stock button (currently only GTK2) then the native stock
409button will be used. For example, the following will result in a
e6bd0b8b
RD
410button with "Cancel" as the label and if run on wxGTK2 then there will
411also be an image of a red X::
4f5ff1b2
RD
412
413 b = wx.Button(parent, wx.ID_CANCEL)
414
415
416Added wx.lib.ticker.Ticker class from Chris Mellon.
417
71e60f70
RD
418Fix some incorrect clipping regions in wxSTC on wxGTK.
419
420Added wrapper for wx.grid.Grid.GetOrCreateCellAttr.
421
11908acc
RD
422Removed my copy of distutils from the wxPython source tree. Now that
423I am no longer doing builds on Python 2.1 the newest distutils is no
424longer needed. (There is still one small bug in Python 2.2 distutils
425on win32, but it is easily worked around.) This sovles the problem of
426incorrect builds on some systems where the system installed distutils
427has been patched to behave slightly differently, for example SuSE on
428x86_64 or Chandler's build.
429
da72c540
RD
430Updated to SWIG 1.3.22 (plus my patch.) See wxPython/SWIG/README.txt
431in the source tree if you need to use SWIG when building your own copy
432of wxPython, or other extension modules that need to integrate with
433the wxPython modules.
434
6afcb800
RD
435Added wx.Frame.RequestUserAttention which, if the platform suports it,
436will do something (such as flash the task bar item) to suggest to the
437user that they should look at that window.
438
31b46829
RD
439"Fixed" wx.grid.Grid.SetDefaultEditor and SetDefaultRenderer by making
440them register the editor or renderer for the "string" data type.
441
442Added depth param to wx.Image.ConvertToBitmap.
443
444Extended the wx.calendar.CalendarCtrl class with methods that get/set
445a Python datetime or date object. (These will only work with Python
4462.3+) The methods are PySetDate, PyGetDate, PySetLowerDateLimit,
447PySetUpperDateLimit, PySetDateRange, PyGetLowerDateLimit, and
5f13b2ca
RD
448PyGetUpperDateLimit. Also, CalendarEvent was extended with PySetDate
449and PyGetDate methods.
31b46829 450
6c3f6fe9
RD
451wxMSW: SetBackgroundColour on a wx.Choice or a wx.ComboBox will now
452also set the colour of the dropdown.
453
8dca2f3d
RD
454wxMac: MessageDialog now supports wx.NO_DEFAULT style
455
456wxMSW: added AssociateHandle and DissociateHandle to wx.Window
457
458wxMac: fix for toolbar tooltips
459
460wx.Sizer.Show (and Hide) now take an optional parameter specifying if
461the item to be shown should be searched for recursivly in subsizers,
462and return a boolean value indicating if the item was found.
463
96d49f0e
RD
464wxMSW: fixed MaximizeEvent generation in wx.Frame
465
466wxMSW: fixed sending duplicate EVT_COMBOBOX events
467

492The C++ xrc lib has been moved out of contrib and into the core, so it
493is always built by default. wxPython's build has also changed
494accordingly and will build the xrc module as part of the core set of
495modules built by default. If you were axplicitly using BUILD_XRC then
496it will no longer be recognized as a build option, otherwise you
497should notice no difference.

499wxMac: Fixed radio toolbar buttons to correctly untoggle the others
500when a new one is selected.
501
502wxMac: Fixed GetLineLength and GetLineText for MLTE text controls
503
504wxMac: wx.TaskBarIcon is implemented by allowing you to change the
505app's icon on the Dock and also specifying a menu that should be
506merged with the normal dock popup menu. See the MigrationGuide for
507more details and a warning.
508
509Added wx.TopLevelWindow.IsActive() which tells you if the frame or
510dialog is or containts the active window with the keyboard focus.

512Added ability to create a font based on pixel size rather than point
513size via the FontFromPixelSize constructor.

554Restructured the installer packages slightly to help facilitate having
555multiple versions of wxPython installed at the same time. See the
556Migrarion Guide for more information.

RD
579Predominantly a bug-fix release.
580
581 * Fixed fatal error due to improper wrapping of wx.FSFile.
582
583 * Fixed return type of EditableListBox.GetListCtrl
584
585 * Give generic tree and list controls a DoGetBestSize so they play
586 nicer with sizers when there is no minimal size.
587
588 * Some tweaks in the demo and samples to correct layout, some
589 flicker problems, and namespace use.
590
591 * Add wx.Image.ConvertAlphaToMask
592
593 * Minor corrections in wx.lib.dialogs
594
595 * wx.FileHistory constructor now accepts the documented 2nd
596 parameter.
597
598 * Corrections for exceptions in the new ogl
599
600 * Fixed XRCed to not use reparenting of windows to implement caching
601 of property panels, since Reparent on wxMac is not implemented.
602
603 * Add support for wxTAB_TRAVERSAL to the XRC handler for
604 wxScrolledWindow.
605
606 * Add support for all wxListBox styles to the XRC handler for

623wx.ADJUST_MINSIZE is now the default behaviour for window items in
ffcb969e
RD
624sizers. This means that the item's GetMinSize and/or GetBestSize will
625be called when calculating layout and the return value from that will
cb8f28ba
RD
626be used for the minimum size used by the sizer. The wx.FIXED_MINSIZE
627flag was added that will cause the sizer to use the old behaviour in
628that it will *not* call the window's methods to determine the new best
629size, instead the minsize that the window had when added to the sizer
da2c7672
RD
630(or the size the window was created with) will always be used. Please
631see the Sizers section in the Migration Guide for more details.

633Added new MaskedEditControl code from Will Sadkin. The modules are

636The changes that implemented the incompatible wx.DC methods in 2.5.1.5
637have been reverted. The wx.DC methods are now compatible with the 2.4
638implemetation. In addition a set of renamed methods have been added
639that take wx.Point and/or wx.Size objects instead of individual
640parameters.
641
5841276a
RD
642Added wx.lib.mixins.listctrl.TextEditMixin, a mixin class that allows
643all columns of a wx.ListCtrl in report mode to be edited.
ba938c3d 644
165e6ca3
RD
645Deprecated the wx.iewin module.
646
647Deprecated the wx.Sizer.AddWindow, AddSizer, AddSpacer methods as well
648as their Insert* and Prepend* counterparts.
649

RD
650Added a generic StaticBitmap class in wx.lib.statbmp for the same
651reasons that stattext was created, so it could be mouse sensitive on
652all platforms like normal windows. Also updated stattext.py and
653buttons.py to handle attribute (font & colour) defaults and
654inheritance the new way. If you have custom controls of your own you
655should review stattxt.py or one of the others to see how it is to be
656done.

658wx.InitAllImageHandlers is now an empty function that does nothing but
659exist for backwards compatibility. The C++ version is now called
660automatically when wxPython is initialized. Since all the handlers
661are included in the wxWidgets shared library anyway, this imposes only
662a very small amount of overhead and removes several unneccessary
663problems.
664
d1e05453 665Replaced wx/lib/pubsub.py with a version that uses weak references to

669wxGTK now uses gtk_init_check so wxPython can raise an exception if
670there is no DISPLAY available or other initializaion problem.
671
672wx.GetKeyState now has an implementation for wxGTK and is able to
673detect the up/down or toggle state of modifier and toggle keys.
674
675The LC_NUMERIC locale is now reset back to "C" (compatibility) when
676running on wxGTK to work around the fact that GTK requires the locale
677to be set to the system settings but Python depends on LC_NUMERIC
678remaining compatible with "C".
