1 CHANGES.txt for wxPython
3 ----------------------------------------------------------------------
7 Added EVT_GRID_EDITOR_CREATED and wxGridEditorCreatedEvent so the user
8 code can get access to the edit control when it is created, (to push
9 on a custom event handler for example.)
15 Removed initial startup dependency on the OpenGL DLLs so only the
16 glcanvasc.pyd depends on them, (on wxMSW.)
18 Changed wxFont, wxPen, wxBrush to not implicitly use the
19 wxThe[Font|Pen|Brush]List objects behind the scenes, but to use normal
22 Exposed the wxThe[Font|Pen|Brush]List to wxPython.
24 Also added wxTheColourDatabase and added a library module (in the
25 wxPython.lib.colourdb module) to load LOTS more colour names into the
28 Added wxWakeUpMainThread, wxMutexGuiEnter, wxMutexGuiLeave,
29 wxMutexGuiLocker and wxThread_IsMain to assist with dealing with GUI
30 access from non-GUI threads.
32 wxPyOnDemandOutputWindow is now (more) thread safe if non-GUI threads
33 use print, sys.stdout.write, etc.
35 Added CreateTextSizer and CreateButtonSizer to wxDialog
37 Added wxPython/lib/infoframe.py from Chris Fama. It contains a class
38 that can be used in place of wxPyOnDemandOutputWindow.
40 Added colourselect.py, imagebrowser.py and an updated calendar.py to
41 wxPython/lib from Lorne White.
43 Added patch to wxPoint_LIST_helper from Tim Hochberg that should make
44 it gobs faster in certain situations.
46 Added tools that will take an image file in a wx supported format and
47 convert it to data embedded in a Python source file. The image is
48 converted to XPM format which is essentially a list of strings
49 containing info about each pixel. The image's transparency mask is
50 included, if there is one, or a mask can be added if a mask colour is
51 specified on the command line. It is then pickled and optionally
52 compressed and written to a Python source file along with functions to
53 convert it to either a wxBitmap or a wxImage. See
54 wxPython/demo/images.py for examples, and wxPython/Tools/img2py.py for
57 Fixed wxStyledTextCtrl to be much faster on wxGTK. There was some
58 experimental code that got left in place that ended up causing way too
61 A couple more hacks in my_distutils.py so wxPython can be built with
62 the distutils that comes with Python 2.1.
64 Added a ton of missing methods for wxPrintData.
66 Switched to InnoSetup for MSW distributions.
70 Fixed bug that prevented wxTreeCtrl.OnCompareItems from being called.
72 Added some methods to wxGrid:
73 GetCellHighlightPenWidth
74 GetCellHighlightROPenWidth
75 SetCellHighlightPenWidth
76 SetCellHighlightROPenWidth
80 GetGridCornerLabelWindow
82 Added wxGetClientDisplayRect which on wxMSW returns a wxRect
83 representing the area on screen not occupied by the taskbar and such.
84 On other platforms it is equivallent to wxGetDisplaySize.
87 ***---***---***---***---***---***---***---***---***---***---***---
88 Implemented the first phase of OOR (Original Object Return). See
89 the text in the demo for more details of what this means, but in a
90 nutshell methods such as wxWindow.GetParent or FindWindowById will
91 now return a shadow object of the proper type if it can. By
92 "proper type" I mean that if the wxWindow pointer returned from
93 FindWindowById really points to a wxButton then the Python object
94 constructed will be of a wxButtonPtr class instead of wxWindowPtr
95 as before. This should reduce or eliminiate the need for
96 wxPyTypeCast. (Woo Hoo!) The objects returned are still not the
97 original Python object, but that is the next step. (Although it
98 will probably only work on Python 2.1 and beyond because it will
101 This first phase of the OOR plan is fairly significant and has
102 required a lot of changes all over wxPython, most of which should
103 be transparent to you, however I'm not 100% sure that it didn't
104 introduce any new bugs that are hiding somewhere and didn't get
105 stomped on during my testing. So please be sure to test everything
106 thoroughly when you install this version and be sure to report any
107 object-type related oddities to me.
108 ***---***---***---***---***---***---***---***---***---***---***---
110 There is now a wxObject class that most other classes derive from like
111 in C++, but the methods provided don't really match but are wxPython
112 specific. It could have been added long ago but OOR required it so it
115 Finally added wxPyLineShape.GetLineControlPoints, which has been on my
116 list for a while. The above OOR modification made this easier.
118 Fixed the __cmp__ methods for wxPoint and others.
122 Added the wxPython.lib.mixins package to the library, it is where
123 useful mix-in classes can be placed. Currently there is one to help
124 make the columns in a wxListCtrl sortable, and the MagicIMageList from
125 Mike Fletcher. If you have any custom code that can be factored out
126 of existing classes into a mix-in that would be useful to others
127 please send it to me for inclusion in this package.
129 Added a few little sample applications to help newbies to get started
130 by having smaller functional apps to play with. They can be found in
139 No changes happened in the Python wrappers for this release, only
140 changes and fixes in the wxWindows library.
147 New typemaps for wxString when compiling for Python 2.0 and beyond
148 that allow Unicode objects to be passed as well as String objects. If
149 a Unicode object is passed PyString_AsStringAndSize is used to convert
150 it to a wxString using the default encoding.
152 Fixed the generic buttons so tool tips work for them.
154 Fixed a bug in the demo's tree control.
156 Added a listbox to the listbox demo that shows how to find items with
157 a matching prefix as keys are typed.
159 Added code to the wxListCtrl demo to show how to get text from a
160 column in report mode.
162 Added code to the toolbar demo to clear the long help from the status
167 Fixed wxTimer so it can be used as described in the docs, either with
168 a Notify method in a subclass, or sending an event to a wxEvtHandler
169 object, (usually a window.)
171 Added wxNotifyEvent.Allow()
173 Fixed GOBS of reference leaks.
175 Massive code changes and cleanup to allow wxPython to be split into
176 multiple extension modules again. A Python CObject is used to allow
177 the "export" of SWIG functions and other common helper functions from
178 the wxc module to other modules, even if they are in separate shared
179 libraries. Should also be usable from 3rd party code, just include
180 wxPython/src/export.h
182 Changed the default setup so the following are built as separate
183 extension modules: calendar, glcanvas, grid, html, ogl, stc, and
184 utils. Will probably add more later.
186 Changed the wxPrinterDC to use the new constructor taking a
187 wxPrintData object. The old ctor is still there using the
190 Added wxPython.lib.anchors.py from Riaan Booysen. It contains a class
191 that implements Delphi's Anchors with wxLayoutConstraints.
193 Added wxPython.lib.fancytext from Timothy Hochberg.
195 Changed the GenericButtons to send their event in idle time, so the
196 mouse won't be captured when the event handler is called.
198 Added wxPython.lib.rpcMixin from Greg Landrum, although it's not
199 integrated with the demo yet. It allows a wxPython GUI to be an
207 Significantly changed how the wxStyledtextCtrl code that wraps
208 Scintilla is implemented. Most of it is now automatically generated
209 from an interface definition file provided by Scintilla. This means
210 that it will be much easier to stay in sync with new Scintilla
211 releases, but also means that some of the method and identifier names
212 have changed. See wxPython/demo/data/stc.h for a copy of the C++
213 interface from which the Python interface is generated. There is now
214 some inline documentation in that file that should really help explain
217 I am now using the Python Distutils to build wxPython and to make some
218 of the distribution files. (See http://www.python.org/sigs/distutils-sig/)
219 This means no more messing with my kludgy build.py/Makefile hack,
220 builds will be more consistent with other Python extensions that also
221 use Distutils, and will hopefully make wxPython easier to build for
222 platforms where there have been troubles before. If you are building
223 wxPython for Python 1.5.2 or for 1.6, then you will need to get and
224 install version 1.0 of Distutils from the website above. If you are
225 using Python 2.0 then you already have it.
227 Added wxInputStream and the wxFileSystem family of classes,
228 contributed by Joerg Baumann.
230 Added wxProcess and support for it to wxExecute. wxProcess lets you
231 get notified when an asyncronous child process terminates, and also to
232 get input/output streams for the child process's stdout, stderr and
235 Removed the old python sizers.
237 Added __add__, __sub__ and __cmp__ (equality check only) for wxPoint
240 Changed the build to make one big extension module instead of one for
241 the core and each contrib. This allowed me to do away with the
242 libwxPyHelpers.so on unix systems.
244 Lots of little fixes here and there.
246 Some hacks on wxGTK to try and make the AutoComplete listbox in the
247 wxStyledTextCtrl to behave better. It's still not as nice as on
248 wxMSW, but at least it's a bit more usable now.
256 Various tweaks, fixes, missing methods, etc.
258 Added example use of wxTaskBarIcon to the demo.
265 Added wxLog and friends.
267 Added wxFrame.ShowFullScreen for MSW.
269 Added PyShellWindow to the wxPython.lib package.
276 Added an attribute named labelDelta to the generic buttons that
277 specifies how far to offset the label when the button is in the
280 Added wxTipProvider and friends. See the demo for an example.
282 wxGrid can now change the cell highlight colour.
286 Fixed printing on wxGTK.
288 Added wxDateTime, wxTimeSpan, and wxDateSpan to wxPython.utils.
290 Added wxCalendarCtrl.
292 WARNING: A while back I asked what should be done about the Magic
293 Method Names. (Methods that are automatically turned into event
294 handlers by virtue of their name.) The consensus was that it is more
295 confusing to have them than to try and expand them to have greater
296 coverage. I am finally getting around to removing the code that
297 generates the event binding. This means that if you are using any of
298 the following method names without a EVT_* call that you need to
299 modify your code to add the EVT_* to hook the event to the method.
321 Fixed wxTreeCtrl.HitTest to return both the tree item as well as the
322 flags that clairify where the click was in relation to the item.
324 Fixed thread state problem in wxTreeCtrl.GetBoundingBox and
327 Fixed some problems in OGL. Also wxShape.SetClientData and
328 .GetClientData can now deal with Python objects.
330 Added wxListCtrl.SortItems and changed the demo to show how to use it.
332 Plugged a memory leak.
334 Wrapped the new wxGrid and friends. The old wxGrid class is no longer
335 available. There are some incompatibilities, and unfortunately the
336 new classes are not documented yet, (however the methods are more
337 consistent with each other now so you may be able to guess pretty
340 Updated filebrowsebutton.py and calendar.py with changes from their
341 authors. There is now a FileBrowseButtonWithHistory class (what a
342 mouthful!) and wxCalendar has printing support.
344 Added ActiveXWrapper to the library, and some good demos of it too.
345 It works great for embedding a COM (a.k.a OCX, a.k.a ActiveX) control
346 in a window and calling its methods. It actually creates a new class
347 on the fly that derives from wxWindow, the COM CoClass and others
348 needed to make it all work. The resulting class can be instantiated
349 just like wxWindow, used in sizers, etc. It also responds to all COM
350 method calls, properties, etc., and if the class or a mix-in has
351 matching method names, then the COM events will be propogated back to
354 Created a typemap that allows a string to be used for parameters
355 expecting a wxColour type. The string is either a colour name as
356 defined in the wxColourDatabase, or a colour spec of the form
357 "#RRGGBB". See the wxStyledTextCtrl demo for an example.
359 I almost forgot to mention the wxStyledTextCtrl! Yes, the
360 wxStyledTextCtrl is finally in wxPython!! (And the crowd goes
361 wild...) There's no documentaTion yet (the crowd boos and hisses...)
362 but I've included a very readable source file in the
363 wxPython/demo/data directory, a couple fairly good examples, and you
364 can also refer to the Scintilla documentaion at
365 http://www.scintilla.org/ScintillaDoc.html to help fill in the gaps
366 until the docs are done. (The croud murmers contentedly as the tool
367 provider smiles convincingly and removes his flame-proof suit.)
374 Skipped a version number to match what has been released for wxGTK.
376 Updated wxMVCTree and added a demo for it, also fixed layout on GTK
377 and some flicker problems.
379 Added a wrapper class for the Visualization ToolKit (or VTK) in the
380 wxPython.lib.vtk module. (http://www.kitware.com/)
382 Fixed wxTreeCtrl.SetItemImage and GetItemImage to recognise the new
385 Added wxPython.lib.spashscreen from Mike Fletcher.
387 Added wxPython.lib.filebrowsebutton also from Mike Fletcher.
389 Renamed wxTreeCtrl.GetParent to GetItemParent to avoid a name clash
390 with wxWindow.GetParent.
392 Added wxIntersectRect to compute the intersection of two wxRect's.
393 It is used like this:
395 intersect = wxIntersectRect(rect1, rect2)
397 If r1 and r2 don't intersect then None is returned, otherwise the
398 rectangle representing the intersection is returned.
400 Some bug fixes for Clipboard and Drag-n-Drop.
402 Rotated text!!! WooHoo! (See wxDC.DrawRotatedText())
404 Added a set of Generic Buttons to the library. These are simple
405 window classes that look and act like native buttons, but you can have
406 a bit more control over them. The bezel width can be set in addition
407 to colours, fonts, etc. There is a ToggleButton as well as Bitmap
408 versions too. They should also serve as a good example of how to
409 create your own classes derived from wxControl.
411 The C++ wxToolBar classes have been redone, and so have the wxPython
412 wrappers. There have been slight modifications to some of the methods
413 but shouldn't impact anybody too much. I took the opportunity to add
414 support for setting user data on each toolbar tool. The new AddTool
415 methods look like this:
419 pushedBitmap = wxNullBitmap,
422 shortHelpString = "",
425 def AddSimpleTool(ID,
427 shortHelpString = "",
432 There are also coresponding InsertTool and InsertSimpleTool methods
433 that additionally take an integer position as the first parameter.
435 Added a wrapper for the new PCX and TIFF ImageHandlers.
437 wxRect now simulates attributes named left, right, top and bottom.
439 Removed all non wx stuff from the glcanvas module since DA's PyOpenGL
440 is better and compatible with the wxGLCanvas. You can get it at
441 http://starship.python.net:9673/crew/da/Code/PyOpenGL.
443 Added some missing EVT_ functions.
445 Added Dirk Holtwic's editor classes to the wxPython.lib.editor
448 Changed all the "LIST" parameter names to "choices" to match the docs.
450 More fixes for the wxFloatBar, and it now works on wxGTK even better
451 than wxMSW! (The feat is accomplished by using the wxTB_DOCKABLE
452 style flag instead of trying to float it ourselves.)
459 Skipped a few version numbers so wxMSW, wxGTK and wxPython are all
462 wxImage.SetData now makes a copy of the image data before giving it to
463 wxImage. I mistakenly thought that wxImage would copy the data
466 Fixed wxMSW's notebook so the pages get their size set as they are
467 being added. This should remove the need for our
468 wxNotebook.ResizeChildren hack.
470 wxPanels now support AutoLayout, and wxNotebooks and wxSplitterWindows
471 no longer tell their children to Layout() themselves. This will
472 probably only effect you if you have a wxWindow with AutoLayout inside
473 a notebook or splitter. If so, either change it to a wxPanel or add
474 an EVT_SIZE handler that calls Layout().
476 Fixed deadlock problem that happened when using threads.
478 Added new HTML printing classes.
480 Added wxWindow.GetHandle
482 Apparently wxMouseEvent.Position has been depreciated in wxWindows as
483 it is no longer available by default. You can use GetPositionTuple
484 (returning a tuple with x,y) instead, or GetPosition (returning a
487 Added wxPostEvent function that allows events to be posted and then
488 processed later. This is a thread-safe way to interact with the GUI
489 thread from other threads.
491 Added Clipboard and Drag-and-Drop classes.
493 Added wxFontEnumerator.
495 Many updates to wxMenu, wxMenuBar.
497 wxPyEvent and wxPyCommandEvent derived classes now give you the actual
498 Python object in the event handler instead of a new shadow.
500 Added a Calendar widget from Lorne White to the library.
502 Made some fixes to the wxFloatbar. It still has some troubles on
505 Added an MVC tree control from Bryn Keller to the library.
512 This is a quick bug-fix release to take care of a few nasties that
513 crept in at the last minute before 2.1.4 was called done. No new
521 This release is NOT syncronized with a snapshot release of wxGTK or
522 wxMSW. For MSW this isn't much of a problem since you can get the
523 binaries from the web site. For other platforms you'll have to build
524 wxGTK from CVS. (See http://web.ukonline.co.uk/julian.smart/wxwin/cvs.htm)
525 To get the same set of sources from CVS that I used, checkout using
528 Now back to what's new...
530 Much more support for event-less callbacks and add-on modules.
532 Created add-on module with wxOGL classes.
534 Added wxWindow.GetChildren(). Be careful of this. It returns a *copy*
535 of the list of the window's children. While you are using the list if
536 anything changes in the real list (a child is deleted, etc.) then the
537 list you are holding will suddenly have window references to garbage
538 memory and your app will likely crash. But if you are careful it works
541 Added a bunch of new and missing methods to wxTreeCrtl. The
542 SortChildren method is now supported, but currently only for the
545 Added typemaps for wxSize, wxPoint, wxRealPoint, and wxRect that allow
546 either the actual objects or Python sequence values to be used. For
547 example, the following are equivallent:
549 win = wxWindow(parent, size = wxSize(100, 100))
550 win = wxWindow(parent, size = (100, 100))
552 Super-charged the wxHtml module. You can now create your own tag
553 handlers and also have access to the parser and cell classes. There
554 is a tag handler in the library at wxPython.lib.wxpTag that
555 understands the WXP tag and is able to place wxPython windows on HTML
556 pages. See the demo for an example.
558 A bunch of the methods of wxMenuBar were previously ifdef'd out for
559 wxGTK. Added them back in since the methods exist now.
561 Wrapped the wxHtmlHelpController and related classes.
563 Wrapped the C++ versions of wxSizer and friends. The Python-only
564 versions are still in the library, but depreciated. (You will get a
565 warning message if you try to use them, but the warning can be
566 disabled.) The usage of the C++ versions is slightly different, and
567 the functionality of wxBorderSizer is now part of wxBoxSizer. I have
568 added a few methods to wxSizer to try and make the transition as
569 smooth as possible, I combined all Add methods into a single method
570 that handles all cases, added an AddMany method, etc. One step I did
571 not take was to make the default value of flag in the Add method be
572 wxGROW. This would have made it more backward compatible, but less
573 portable to and from wxWin C++ code. Please see the docs and demo for
576 Added wxPyEvent and wxPyCommandEvent classes, derived from wxEvent and
577 wxCommandEvent. Each of them has SetPyData and GetPyData methods that
578 accept or return a single Python object. You can use these classes
579 directly or derive from them to create your own types of event objects
580 that can pass through the wxWindows event system without loosing their
581 Python parts (as long as they are stored with SetPyData.) Stay tuned
582 for more info and examples in future releases.
584 Added wxPython.lib.grids as an example of how to derive a new sizer
585 from the C++ sizers. In this module you will find wxGridSizer and
586 wxFlexGridSizer. wxGridSizer arrainges its items in a grid in which
587 all the widths and heights are the same. wxFlexgridSizer allows
588 different widths and heights, and you can also specify rows and/or
589 columns that are growable. See the demo for a couple examples for how
592 Added the wxValidator class, and created a class named wxPyValidator
593 that should be used for the base class of any Python validators. See
594 the demo for an example. Please note that you MUST implement a Clone
595 method in your validator classes because of the way some things work
596 in the underlying C++ library. I did not add wxTextValidator because
597 of some issues of how it transfers data to and from a wxString, which
598 in wxPython is automatically translated to and from Python strings, so
599 there would never be a concrete wxString that would hang around long
600 enough for the validator to do its job. On the other hand, it should
601 be real easy to duplicate the functionality of wxTextValidator in a
602 pure Python class derived from wxPyValidator.
604 I've finally added a feature that has been on my list for close to two
605 years! Ever wondered what that zero is for when you create your app
606 object? Well now you can leave it out or explicitly set it to a true
607 value. This value now controls what is to be done with sys.stdout and
608 sys.stderr. A false value leaves them alone, and a true value sets
609 them to an instance of wxPyOnDemandOutputWindow. (On windows the
610 default is true, on unix platforms the default is false.) This class
611 creates a frame containing a wxTextCtrl as soon as anything is written
612 to sys.stdout or sys.stderr. If you close the window it will come
613 back again the next time something is written. (You can call
614 app.RestoreStdio to turn this off.) If you would rather that the stdio be
615 redirected to a file, you can provide a second parameter to your app
616 object's constructor that is a filename. If you want to use your own
617 class instead of wxPyOnDemandOutputWindow you can either implement
618 RedirectStdio() in you app class or change the value of
619 wxApp.outputWindowClass like this:
622 outputWindowClass = MyClass
626 self.SetTopWindow(frame)
629 Please see the implementation of wxPyOnDemandOutputWindow and wxApp in
630 wx.py for more details. A few words of caution: if you are running
631 your app in a debugger, changing sys.stdout and sys.stderr is likely
632 to really screw things up.
634 Added wxCaret. Unfortunately it's author has still not documented it
635 in the wxWindows docs...
637 Some new 3rd party contributions in wxPython.lib. PyShell, in
638 shell.py is an interesting implementaion of an interactive Python
639 shell in wxWindows. floatbar.py has a class derived from wxToolBar
640 that can sense mouse drags and then reparent itself into another
641 frame. Moving the new frame close to where it came from puts the tool
642 bar back into the original parent. (Unfortunately there is currently
643 a bug in wxGTK's wxFrame.SetToolBar so the FloatBar has some
652 This release is syncronized with release 2.1 snapshot 9 of wxWindows.
654 Switched to using SWIG from CVS (see http://swig.cs.uchicago.edu/cvs.html)
655 for some of the new features and such. Also they have encorporated my
656 patches so there is really no reason to stick with the current (very
657 old) release... This version of SWIG gives the following new
660 1. Keyword arguments. You no longer have to specify all the
661 parameters with defaults to a method just to specify a
662 non-default value on the end. You can now do this instead:
664 win = wxWindow(parent, -1, style = mystyle)
666 2. There is now an an equivalence between Python's None and C++'s
667 NULL. This means that any methods that might return NULL will
668 now return None and you can use none where wxWindows might be
669 expecting NULL. This makes things much more snake-ish.
672 There is a new build system based on a new Python program instead of
673 raw makefiles. Now wxPython builds are virtually the same on MSW or
674 Unix systems. See the end of this file for new build instructions and
675 see distrib/build.py for more details.
677 wxDC.Bilt now includes the useMask parameter, and has been split into
678 two different versions. wxDC.BlitXY is like what was there before and
679 takes raw coordinants and sizes, and the new wxDC.Blit is for the new
680 interface using wxPoints and a wxSize.
689 Added the missing wxWindow.GetUpdateRegion() method.
691 Made a new change in SWIG (update your patches everybody) that
692 provides a fix for global shadow objects that get an exception in
693 their __del__ when their extension module has already been deleted.
694 It was only a 1 line change in .../SWIG/Modules/pycpp.cxx at about
695 line 496 if you want to do it by hand.
697 It is now possible to run through MainLoop more than once in any one
698 process. The cleanup that used to happen as MainLoop completed (and
699 prevented it from running again) has been delayed until the wxc module
700 is being unloaded by Python.
702 I fixed a bunch of stuff in the C++ version of wxGrid so it wouldn't
703 make wxPython look bad.
705 wxWindow.PopupMenu() now takes a wxPoint instead of x,y. Added
706 wxWindow.PopupMenuXY to be consistent with some other methods.
708 Added wxGrid.SetEditInPlace and wxGrid.GetEditInPlace.
710 You can now provide your own app.MainLoop method. See
711 wxPython/demo/demoMainLoop.py for an example and some explaination.
713 Got the in-place-edit for the wxTreeCtrl fixed and added some demo
714 code to show how to use it.
716 Put the wxIcon constructor back in for GTK as it now has one that
719 Added wxGrid.GetCells
721 Added wxSystemSettings static methods as functions with names like
722 wxSystemSettings_GetSystemColour.
724 Removed wxPyMenu since using menu callbacks have been depreciated in
725 wxWindows. Use wxMenu and events instead.
727 Added alternate wxBitmap constructor (for MSW only) as
728 wxBitmapFromData(data, type, width, height, depth = 1)
730 Added a helper function named wxPyTypeCast that can convert shadow
731 objects of one type into shadow objects of another type. (Like doing
732 a down-cast.) See the implementation in wx.py for some docs.
734 Fixed wxImage GetData and SetData to properly use String objects for
737 Added access methods to wxGridEvent.
739 New Makefile/Setup files supporting multiple dynamic extension modules
742 Fixes for the wxGLCanvas demo to work around a strange bug in gtk.
744 SWIG support routines now compiled separately instead of being bundled
753 Fixed wxComboBox.SetSelection so that it actually sets the selected
754 item. (Actually just removed it from wxPython and let it default to
755 wxChoice.SetSelection which was already doing the right thing.)
757 Added the Printing Framework.
759 Switched back to using the wxWindows DLL for the pre-built Win32
760 version. The problem was needing to reinitialize static class info
761 data after loading each extension module.
763 Lots of little tweaks and additions to reflect changes to various
766 Fixed a bug with attaching objects to tree items. Actually was a
767 symptom of a larger problem with not obtaining the interpreter lock
768 when doing any Py_DECREFs.
770 wxSizer and friends. Sizers are layout tools that manage a colection
771 of windows and sizers. Different types of sizers apply different
772 types of layout algorithms. You saw it here first! These classes are
773 not even in the wxWindows C++ library yet!
779 Bug fix for ListCtrl in test4.py (Was a missing file... DSM!)
781 Bug fix for occassional GPF on Win32 systems upon termination of a
782 wxPython application.
784 Added wxListBox.GetSelections returning selections as a Tuple.
786 Added a wxTreeItemData that is able to hold any Python object and be
787 associated with items in a wxTreeCtrl. Added test pytree.py to show
790 Added wxSafeYield function.
792 OpenGL Canvas can be optionally compiled in to wxPython.
794 Awesome new Demo Framework for showing off wxPython and for learning
797 The pre-built Win32 version is no longer distributing the wxWindows
798 DLL. It is statically linked with the wxWindows library instead.
800 Added a couple missing items from the docs.
802 Added wxImage, wxImageHandler, wxPNGHandler, wxJPEGHandler,
803 wxGIFHandler and wxBMPHandler.
805 Added new methods to wxTextCtrl.
807 Fixed some problems with how SWIG was wrapping some wxTreeCtrl
814 Support for using Python threads in wxPython apps.
816 Several missing methods from various classes.
824 Added DLG_PNT and DLG_SZE convienience methods to wxWindow class.
826 Added missing constructor and other methods for wxMenuItem.
832 Just a quickie update to fix the self-installer to be compatible with
833 Python 1.5.2b2's Registry settings.
838 Well obviously the numbering scheme has changed. I did this to
839 reflect the fact that this truly is the second major revision of
840 wxPython, (well the third actually if you count the one I did for
841 wxWindows 1.68 and then threw away...) and also that it is associated
842 with the 2.0 version of wxWindows.
844 I have finally started documenting wxPython. There are several pages
845 in the wxWindows documentation tree specifically about wxPython, and I
846 have added notes within the class references about where and how wxPython
847 diverges from wxWindows.
849 Added wxWindow_FromHWND(hWnd) for wxMSW to construct a wxWindow from a
850 window handle. If you can get the window handle into the python code,
851 it should just work... More news on this later.
853 Added wxImageList, wxToolTip.
855 Re-enabled wxConfig.DeleteAll() since it is reportedly fixed for the
858 As usual, some bug fixes, tweaks, etc.
864 Added wxSashWindow, wxSashEvent, wxLayoutAlgorithm, etc.
866 Various cleanup, tweaks, minor additions, etc. to maintain
867 compatibility with the current wxWindows.
873 Changed the import semantics from "from wxPython import *" to "from
874 wxPython.wx import *" This is for people who are worried about
875 namespace pollution, they can use "from wxPython import wx" and then
876 prefix all the wxPython identifiers with "wx."
878 Added wxTaskbarIcon for wxMSW.
880 Made the events work for wxGrid.
884 Added wxMiniFrame for wxGTK.
886 Changed many of the args and return values that were pointers to gdi
887 objects to references to reflect changes in the wxWindows API.
889 Other assorted fixes and additions.
897 wxPython on wxGTK works!!! Both dynamic and static on Linux and
898 static on Solaris have been tested. Many thanks go to Harm
899 <H.v.d.Heijden@phys.tue.nl> for his astute detective work on tracking
900 down a nasty DECREF bug. Okay so I have to confess that it was just a
901 DSM (Dumb Stupid Mistake) on my part but it was nasty none the less
902 because the behavior was so different on different platforms.
904 The dynamicly loaded module on Solaris is still segfaulting, so it
905 must have been a different issue all along...
912 1. Worked on wxGTK compatibility. It is partially working. On a
913 Solaris/Sparc box wxPython is working but only when it is statically
914 linked with the Python interpreter. When built as a dyamically loaded
915 extension module, things start acting weirdly and it soon seg-faults.
916 And on Linux both the statically linked and the dynamically linked
917 version segfault shortly after starting up.
919 2. Added Toolbar, StatusBar and SplitterWindow classes.
921 3. Varioius bug fixes, enhancements, etc.
