1 CHANGES.txt for wxPython
3 ----------------------------------------------------------------------
7 Added EVT_HELP, EVT_HELP_RANGE, EVT_DETAILED_HELP,
8 EVT_DETAILED_HELP_RANGE, EVT_CONTEXT_MENU, wxHelpEvent,
9 wxContextMenuEvent, wxContextHelp, wxContextHelpButton, wxTipWindow,
10 and a demo to show them in action.
21 Added EVT_GRID_EDITOR_CREATED and wxGridEditorCreatedEvent so the user
22 code can get access to the edit control when it is created, (to push
23 on a custom event handler for example.)
25 Added wxTextAttr class and SetStyle, SetDefaultStyle and
26 GetDefaultStyle methods to wxTextCtrl.
28 Added ability to use xml resource files. Still need to add ability to
29 subclass wxXmlResourceHandler, etc...
31 Added wxGridAutoEditMixin to the mixins library package.
33 Made ColourSelect be derived from wxButton.
35 Fixed img2py to work correctly with Python 2.1.
37 Added enhanced wxVTKRenderWindow by Prabhu Ramachandran
43 Removed initial startup dependency on the OpenGL DLLs so only the
44 glcanvasc.pyd depends on them, (on wxMSW.)
46 Changed wxFont, wxPen, wxBrush to not implicitly use the
47 wxThe[Font|Pen|Brush]List objects behind the scenes, but to use normal
50 Exposed the wxThe[Font|Pen|Brush]List to wxPython.
52 Also added wxTheColourDatabase and added a library module (in the
53 wxPython.lib.colourdb module) to load LOTS more colour names into the
56 Added wxWakeUpMainThread, wxMutexGuiEnter, wxMutexGuiLeave,
57 wxMutexGuiLocker and wxThread_IsMain to assist with dealing with GUI
58 access from non-GUI threads.
60 wxPyOnDemandOutputWindow is now (more) thread safe if non-GUI threads
61 use print, sys.stdout.write, etc.
63 Added CreateTextSizer and CreateButtonSizer to wxDialog
65 Added wxPython/lib/infoframe.py from Chris Fama. It contains a class
66 that can be used in place of wxPyOnDemandOutputWindow.
68 Added colourselect.py, imagebrowser.py and an updated calendar.py to
69 wxPython/lib from Lorne White.
71 Added patch to wxPoint_LIST_helper from Tim Hochberg that should make
72 it gobs faster in certain situations.
74 Added tools that will take an image file in a wx supported format and
75 convert it to data embedded in a Python source file. The image is
76 converted to XPM format which is essentially a list of strings
77 containing info about each pixel. The image's transparency mask is
78 included, if there is one, or a mask can be added if a mask colour is
79 specified on the command line. It is then pickled and optionally
80 compressed and written to a Python source file along with functions to
81 convert it to either a wxBitmap or a wxImage. See
82 wxPython/demo/images.py for examples, and wxPython/Tools/img2py.py for
85 Fixed wxStyledTextCtrl to be much faster on wxGTK. There was some
86 experimental code that got left in place that ended up causing way too
89 A couple more hacks in my_distutils.py so wxPython can be built with
90 the distutils that comes with Python 2.1.
92 Added a ton of missing methods for wxPrintData.
94 Switched to InnoSetup for MSW distributions.
98 Fixed bug that prevented wxTreeCtrl.OnCompareItems from being called.
100 Added some methods to wxGrid:
101 GetCellHighlightPenWidth
102 GetCellHighlightROPenWidth
103 SetCellHighlightPenWidth
104 SetCellHighlightROPenWidth
106 GetGridRowLabelWindow
107 GetGridColLabelWindow
108 GetGridCornerLabelWindow
110 Added wxGetClientDisplayRect which on wxMSW returns a wxRect
111 representing the area on screen not occupied by the taskbar and such.
112 On other platforms it is equivallent to wxGetDisplaySize.
115 ***---***---***---***---***---***---***---***---***---***---***---
116 Implemented the first phase of OOR (Original Object Return). See
117 the text in the demo for more details of what this means, but in a
118 nutshell methods such as wxWindow.GetParent or FindWindowById will
119 now return a shadow object of the proper type if it can. By
120 "proper type" I mean that if the wxWindow pointer returned from
121 FindWindowById really points to a wxButton then the Python object
122 constructed will be of a wxButtonPtr class instead of wxWindowPtr
123 as before. This should reduce or eliminiate the need for
124 wxPyTypeCast. (Woo Hoo!) The objects returned are still not the
125 original Python object, but that is the next step. (Although it
126 will probably only work on Python 2.1 and beyond because it will
127 use weak references.)
129 This first phase of the OOR plan is fairly significant and has
130 required a lot of changes all over wxPython, most of which should
131 be transparent to you, however I'm not 100% sure that it didn't
132 introduce any new bugs that are hiding somewhere and didn't get
133 stomped on during my testing. So please be sure to test everything
134 thoroughly when you install this version and be sure to report any
135 object-type related oddities to me.
136 ***---***---***---***---***---***---***---***---***---***---***---
138 There is now a wxObject class that most other classes derive from like
139 in C++, but the methods provided don't really match but are wxPython
140 specific. It could have been added long ago but OOR required it so it
143 Finally added wxPyLineShape.GetLineControlPoints, which has been on my
144 list for a while. The above OOR modification made this easier.
146 Fixed the __cmp__ methods for wxPoint and others.
150 Added the wxPython.lib.mixins package to the library, it is where
151 useful mix-in classes can be placed. Currently there is one to help
152 make the columns in a wxListCtrl sortable, and the MagicIMageList from
153 Mike Fletcher. If you have any custom code that can be factored out
154 of existing classes into a mix-in that would be useful to others
155 please send it to me for inclusion in this package.
157 Added a few little sample applications to help newbies to get started
158 by having smaller functional apps to play with. They can be found in
167 No changes happened in the Python wrappers for this release, only
168 changes and fixes in the wxWindows library.
175 New typemaps for wxString when compiling for Python 2.0 and beyond
176 that allow Unicode objects to be passed as well as String objects. If
177 a Unicode object is passed PyString_AsStringAndSize is used to convert
178 it to a wxString using the default encoding.
180 Fixed the generic buttons so tool tips work for them.
182 Fixed a bug in the demo's tree control.
184 Added a listbox to the listbox demo that shows how to find items with
185 a matching prefix as keys are typed.
187 Added code to the wxListCtrl demo to show how to get text from a
188 column in report mode.
190 Added code to the toolbar demo to clear the long help from the status
195 Fixed wxTimer so it can be used as described in the docs, either with
196 a Notify method in a subclass, or sending an event to a wxEvtHandler
197 object, (usually a window.)
199 Added wxNotifyEvent.Allow()
201 Fixed GOBS of reference leaks.
203 Massive code changes and cleanup to allow wxPython to be split into
204 multiple extension modules again. A Python CObject is used to allow
205 the "export" of SWIG functions and other common helper functions from
206 the wxc module to other modules, even if they are in separate shared
207 libraries. Should also be usable from 3rd party code, just include
208 wxPython/src/export.h
210 Changed the default setup so the following are built as separate
211 extension modules: calendar, glcanvas, grid, html, ogl, stc, and
212 utils. Will probably add more later.
214 Changed the wxPrinterDC to use the new constructor taking a
215 wxPrintData object. The old ctor is still there using the
218 Added wxPython.lib.anchors.py from Riaan Booysen. It contains a class
219 that implements Delphi's Anchors with wxLayoutConstraints.
221 Added wxPython.lib.fancytext from Timothy Hochberg.
223 Changed the GenericButtons to send their event in idle time, so the
224 mouse won't be captured when the event handler is called.
226 Added wxPython.lib.rpcMixin from Greg Landrum, although it's not
227 integrated with the demo yet. It allows a wxPython GUI to be an
235 Significantly changed how the wxStyledtextCtrl code that wraps
236 Scintilla is implemented. Most of it is now automatically generated
237 from an interface definition file provided by Scintilla. This means
238 that it will be much easier to stay in sync with new Scintilla
239 releases, but also means that some of the method and identifier names
240 have changed. See wxPython/demo/data/stc.h for a copy of the C++
241 interface from which the Python interface is generated. There is now
242 some inline documentation in that file that should really help explain
245 I am now using the Python Distutils to build wxPython and to make some
246 of the distribution files. (See http://www.python.org/sigs/distutils-sig/)
247 This means no more messing with my kludgy build.py/Makefile hack,
248 builds will be more consistent with other Python extensions that also
249 use Distutils, and will hopefully make wxPython easier to build for
250 platforms where there have been troubles before. If you are building
251 wxPython for Python 1.5.2 or for 1.6, then you will need to get and
252 install version 1.0 of Distutils from the website above. If you are
253 using Python 2.0 then you already have it.
255 Added wxInputStream and the wxFileSystem family of classes,
256 contributed by Joerg Baumann.
258 Added wxProcess and support for it to wxExecute. wxProcess lets you
259 get notified when an asyncronous child process terminates, and also to
260 get input/output streams for the child process's stdout, stderr and
263 Removed the old python sizers.
265 Added __add__, __sub__ and __cmp__ (equality check only) for wxPoint
268 Changed the build to make one big extension module instead of one for
269 the core and each contrib. This allowed me to do away with the
270 libwxPyHelpers.so on unix systems.
272 Lots of little fixes here and there.
274 Some hacks on wxGTK to try and make the AutoComplete listbox in the
275 wxStyledTextCtrl to behave better. It's still not as nice as on
276 wxMSW, but at least it's a bit more usable now.
284 Various tweaks, fixes, missing methods, etc.
286 Added example use of wxTaskBarIcon to the demo.
293 Added wxLog and friends.
295 Added wxFrame.ShowFullScreen for MSW.
297 Added PyShellWindow to the wxPython.lib package.
304 Added an attribute named labelDelta to the generic buttons that
305 specifies how far to offset the label when the button is in the
308 Added wxTipProvider and friends. See the demo for an example.
310 wxGrid can now change the cell highlight colour.
314 Fixed printing on wxGTK.
316 Added wxDateTime, wxTimeSpan, and wxDateSpan to wxPython.utils.
318 Added wxCalendarCtrl.
320 WARNING: A while back I asked what should be done about the Magic
321 Method Names. (Methods that are automatically turned into event
322 handlers by virtue of their name.) The consensus was that it is more
323 confusing to have them than to try and expand them to have greater
324 coverage. I am finally getting around to removing the code that
325 generates the event binding. This means that if you are using any of
326 the following method names without a EVT_* call that you need to
327 modify your code to add the EVT_* to hook the event to the method.
349 Fixed wxTreeCtrl.HitTest to return both the tree item as well as the
350 flags that clairify where the click was in relation to the item.
352 Fixed thread state problem in wxTreeCtrl.GetBoundingBox and
355 Fixed some problems in OGL. Also wxShape.SetClientData and
356 .GetClientData can now deal with Python objects.
358 Added wxListCtrl.SortItems and changed the demo to show how to use it.
360 Plugged a memory leak.
362 Wrapped the new wxGrid and friends. The old wxGrid class is no longer
363 available. There are some incompatibilities, and unfortunately the
364 new classes are not documented yet, (however the methods are more
365 consistent with each other now so you may be able to guess pretty
368 Updated filebrowsebutton.py and calendar.py with changes from their
369 authors. There is now a FileBrowseButtonWithHistory class (what a
370 mouthful!) and wxCalendar has printing support.
372 Added ActiveXWrapper to the library, and some good demos of it too.
373 It works great for embedding a COM (a.k.a OCX, a.k.a ActiveX) control
374 in a window and calling its methods. It actually creates a new class
375 on the fly that derives from wxWindow, the COM CoClass and others
376 needed to make it all work. The resulting class can be instantiated
377 just like wxWindow, used in sizers, etc. It also responds to all COM
378 method calls, properties, etc., and if the class or a mix-in has
379 matching method names, then the COM events will be propogated back to
382 Created a typemap that allows a string to be used for parameters
383 expecting a wxColour type. The string is either a colour name as
384 defined in the wxColourDatabase, or a colour spec of the form
385 "#RRGGBB". See the wxStyledTextCtrl demo for an example.
387 I almost forgot to mention the wxStyledTextCtrl! Yes, the
388 wxStyledTextCtrl is finally in wxPython!! (And the crowd goes
389 wild...) There's no documentaTion yet (the crowd boos and hisses...)
390 but I've included a very readable source file in the
391 wxPython/demo/data directory, a couple fairly good examples, and you
392 can also refer to the Scintilla documentaion at
393 http://www.scintilla.org/ScintillaDoc.html to help fill in the gaps
394 until the docs are done. (The croud murmers contentedly as the tool
395 provider smiles convincingly and removes his flame-proof suit.)
402 Skipped a version number to match what has been released for wxGTK.
404 Updated wxMVCTree and added a demo for it, also fixed layout on GTK
405 and some flicker problems.
407 Added a wrapper class for the Visualization ToolKit (or VTK) in the
408 wxPython.lib.vtk module. (http://www.kitware.com/)
410 Fixed wxTreeCtrl.SetItemImage and GetItemImage to recognise the new
413 Added wxPython.lib.spashscreen from Mike Fletcher.
415 Added wxPython.lib.filebrowsebutton also from Mike Fletcher.
417 Renamed wxTreeCtrl.GetParent to GetItemParent to avoid a name clash
418 with wxWindow.GetParent.
420 Added wxIntersectRect to compute the intersection of two wxRect's.
421 It is used like this:
423 intersect = wxIntersectRect(rect1, rect2)
425 If r1 and r2 don't intersect then None is returned, otherwise the
426 rectangle representing the intersection is returned.
428 Some bug fixes for Clipboard and Drag-n-Drop.
430 Rotated text!!! WooHoo! (See wxDC.DrawRotatedText())
432 Added a set of Generic Buttons to the library. These are simple
433 window classes that look and act like native buttons, but you can have
434 a bit more control over them. The bezel width can be set in addition
435 to colours, fonts, etc. There is a ToggleButton as well as Bitmap
436 versions too. They should also serve as a good example of how to
437 create your own classes derived from wxControl.
439 The C++ wxToolBar classes have been redone, and so have the wxPython
440 wrappers. There have been slight modifications to some of the methods
441 but shouldn't impact anybody too much. I took the opportunity to add
442 support for setting user data on each toolbar tool. The new AddTool
443 methods look like this:
447 pushedBitmap = wxNullBitmap,
450 shortHelpString = "",
453 def AddSimpleTool(ID,
455 shortHelpString = "",
460 There are also coresponding InsertTool and InsertSimpleTool methods
461 that additionally take an integer position as the first parameter.
463 Added a wrapper for the new PCX and TIFF ImageHandlers.
465 wxRect now simulates attributes named left, right, top and bottom.
467 Removed all non wx stuff from the glcanvas module since DA's PyOpenGL
468 is better and compatible with the wxGLCanvas. You can get it at
469 http://starship.python.net:9673/crew/da/Code/PyOpenGL.
471 Added some missing EVT_ functions.
473 Added Dirk Holtwic's editor classes to the wxPython.lib.editor
476 Changed all the "LIST" parameter names to "choices" to match the docs.
478 More fixes for the wxFloatBar, and it now works on wxGTK even better
479 than wxMSW! (The feat is accomplished by using the wxTB_DOCKABLE
480 style flag instead of trying to float it ourselves.)
487 Skipped a few version numbers so wxMSW, wxGTK and wxPython are all
490 wxImage.SetData now makes a copy of the image data before giving it to
491 wxImage. I mistakenly thought that wxImage would copy the data
494 Fixed wxMSW's notebook so the pages get their size set as they are
495 being added. This should remove the need for our
496 wxNotebook.ResizeChildren hack.
498 wxPanels now support AutoLayout, and wxNotebooks and wxSplitterWindows
499 no longer tell their children to Layout() themselves. This will
500 probably only effect you if you have a wxWindow with AutoLayout inside
501 a notebook or splitter. If so, either change it to a wxPanel or add
502 an EVT_SIZE handler that calls Layout().
504 Fixed deadlock problem that happened when using threads.
506 Added new HTML printing classes.
508 Added wxWindow.GetHandle
510 Apparently wxMouseEvent.Position has been depreciated in wxWindows as
511 it is no longer available by default. You can use GetPositionTuple
512 (returning a tuple with x,y) instead, or GetPosition (returning a
515 Added wxPostEvent function that allows events to be posted and then
516 processed later. This is a thread-safe way to interact with the GUI
517 thread from other threads.
519 Added Clipboard and Drag-and-Drop classes.
521 Added wxFontEnumerator.
523 Many updates to wxMenu, wxMenuBar.
525 wxPyEvent and wxPyCommandEvent derived classes now give you the actual
526 Python object in the event handler instead of a new shadow.
528 Added a Calendar widget from Lorne White to the library.
530 Made some fixes to the wxFloatbar. It still has some troubles on
533 Added an MVC tree control from Bryn Keller to the library.
540 This is a quick bug-fix release to take care of a few nasties that
541 crept in at the last minute before 2.1.4 was called done. No new
549 This release is NOT syncronized with a snapshot release of wxGTK or
550 wxMSW. For MSW this isn't much of a problem since you can get the
551 binaries from the web site. For other platforms you'll have to build
552 wxGTK from CVS. (See http://web.ukonline.co.uk/julian.smart/wxwin/cvs.htm)
553 To get the same set of sources from CVS that I used, checkout using
556 Now back to what's new...
558 Much more support for event-less callbacks and add-on modules.
560 Created add-on module with wxOGL classes.
562 Added wxWindow.GetChildren(). Be careful of this. It returns a *copy*
563 of the list of the window's children. While you are using the list if
564 anything changes in the real list (a child is deleted, etc.) then the
565 list you are holding will suddenly have window references to garbage
566 memory and your app will likely crash. But if you are careful it works
569 Added a bunch of new and missing methods to wxTreeCrtl. The
570 SortChildren method is now supported, but currently only for the
573 Added typemaps for wxSize, wxPoint, wxRealPoint, and wxRect that allow
574 either the actual objects or Python sequence values to be used. For
575 example, the following are equivallent:
577 win = wxWindow(parent, size = wxSize(100, 100))
578 win = wxWindow(parent, size = (100, 100))
580 Super-charged the wxHtml module. You can now create your own tag
581 handlers and also have access to the parser and cell classes. There
582 is a tag handler in the library at wxPython.lib.wxpTag that
583 understands the WXP tag and is able to place wxPython windows on HTML
584 pages. See the demo for an example.
586 A bunch of the methods of wxMenuBar were previously ifdef'd out for
587 wxGTK. Added them back in since the methods exist now.
589 Wrapped the wxHtmlHelpController and related classes.
591 Wrapped the C++ versions of wxSizer and friends. The Python-only
592 versions are still in the library, but depreciated. (You will get a
593 warning message if you try to use them, but the warning can be
594 disabled.) The usage of the C++ versions is slightly different, and
595 the functionality of wxBorderSizer is now part of wxBoxSizer. I have
596 added a few methods to wxSizer to try and make the transition as
597 smooth as possible, I combined all Add methods into a single method
598 that handles all cases, added an AddMany method, etc. One step I did
599 not take was to make the default value of flag in the Add method be
600 wxGROW. This would have made it more backward compatible, but less
601 portable to and from wxWin C++ code. Please see the docs and demo for
604 Added wxPyEvent and wxPyCommandEvent classes, derived from wxEvent and
605 wxCommandEvent. Each of them has SetPyData and GetPyData methods that
606 accept or return a single Python object. You can use these classes
607 directly or derive from them to create your own types of event objects
608 that can pass through the wxWindows event system without loosing their
609 Python parts (as long as they are stored with SetPyData.) Stay tuned
610 for more info and examples in future releases.
612 Added wxPython.lib.grids as an example of how to derive a new sizer
613 from the C++ sizers. In this module you will find wxGridSizer and
614 wxFlexGridSizer. wxGridSizer arrainges its items in a grid in which
615 all the widths and heights are the same. wxFlexgridSizer allows
616 different widths and heights, and you can also specify rows and/or
617 columns that are growable. See the demo for a couple examples for how
620 Added the wxValidator class, and created a class named wxPyValidator
621 that should be used for the base class of any Python validators. See
622 the demo for an example. Please note that you MUST implement a Clone
623 method in your validator classes because of the way some things work
624 in the underlying C++ library. I did not add wxTextValidator because
625 of some issues of how it transfers data to and from a wxString, which
626 in wxPython is automatically translated to and from Python strings, so
627 there would never be a concrete wxString that would hang around long
628 enough for the validator to do its job. On the other hand, it should
629 be real easy to duplicate the functionality of wxTextValidator in a
630 pure Python class derived from wxPyValidator.
632 I've finally added a feature that has been on my list for close to two
633 years! Ever wondered what that zero is for when you create your app
634 object? Well now you can leave it out or explicitly set it to a true
635 value. This value now controls what is to be done with sys.stdout and
636 sys.stderr. A false value leaves them alone, and a true value sets
637 them to an instance of wxPyOnDemandOutputWindow. (On windows the
638 default is true, on unix platforms the default is false.) This class
639 creates a frame containing a wxTextCtrl as soon as anything is written
640 to sys.stdout or sys.stderr. If you close the window it will come
641 back again the next time something is written. (You can call
642 app.RestoreStdio to turn this off.) If you would rather that the stdio be
643 redirected to a file, you can provide a second parameter to your app
644 object's constructor that is a filename. If you want to use your own
645 class instead of wxPyOnDemandOutputWindow you can either implement
646 RedirectStdio() in you app class or change the value of
647 wxApp.outputWindowClass like this:
650 outputWindowClass = MyClass
654 self.SetTopWindow(frame)
657 Please see the implementation of wxPyOnDemandOutputWindow and wxApp in
658 wx.py for more details. A few words of caution: if you are running
659 your app in a debugger, changing sys.stdout and sys.stderr is likely
660 to really screw things up.
662 Added wxCaret. Unfortunately it's author has still not documented it
663 in the wxWindows docs...
665 Some new 3rd party contributions in wxPython.lib. PyShell, in
666 shell.py is an interesting implementaion of an interactive Python
667 shell in wxWindows. floatbar.py has a class derived from wxToolBar
668 that can sense mouse drags and then reparent itself into another
669 frame. Moving the new frame close to where it came from puts the tool
670 bar back into the original parent. (Unfortunately there is currently
671 a bug in wxGTK's wxFrame.SetToolBar so the FloatBar has some
680 This release is syncronized with release 2.1 snapshot 9 of wxWindows.
682 Switched to using SWIG from CVS (see http://swig.cs.uchicago.edu/cvs.html)
683 for some of the new features and such. Also they have encorporated my
684 patches so there is really no reason to stick with the current (very
685 old) release... This version of SWIG gives the following new
688 1. Keyword arguments. You no longer have to specify all the
689 parameters with defaults to a method just to specify a
690 non-default value on the end. You can now do this instead:
692 win = wxWindow(parent, -1, style = mystyle)
694 2. There is now an an equivalence between Python's None and C++'s
695 NULL. This means that any methods that might return NULL will
696 now return None and you can use none where wxWindows might be
697 expecting NULL. This makes things much more snake-ish.
700 There is a new build system based on a new Python program instead of
701 raw makefiles. Now wxPython builds are virtually the same on MSW or
702 Unix systems. See the end of this file for new build instructions and
703 see distrib/build.py for more details.
705 wxDC.Bilt now includes the useMask parameter, and has been split into
706 two different versions. wxDC.BlitXY is like what was there before and
707 takes raw coordinants and sizes, and the new wxDC.Blit is for the new
708 interface using wxPoints and a wxSize.
717 Added the missing wxWindow.GetUpdateRegion() method.
719 Made a new change in SWIG (update your patches everybody) that
720 provides a fix for global shadow objects that get an exception in
721 their __del__ when their extension module has already been deleted.
722 It was only a 1 line change in .../SWIG/Modules/pycpp.cxx at about
723 line 496 if you want to do it by hand.
725 It is now possible to run through MainLoop more than once in any one
726 process. The cleanup that used to happen as MainLoop completed (and
727 prevented it from running again) has been delayed until the wxc module
728 is being unloaded by Python.
730 I fixed a bunch of stuff in the C++ version of wxGrid so it wouldn't
731 make wxPython look bad.
733 wxWindow.PopupMenu() now takes a wxPoint instead of x,y. Added
734 wxWindow.PopupMenuXY to be consistent with some other methods.
736 Added wxGrid.SetEditInPlace and wxGrid.GetEditInPlace.
738 You can now provide your own app.MainLoop method. See
739 wxPython/demo/demoMainLoop.py for an example and some explaination.
741 Got the in-place-edit for the wxTreeCtrl fixed and added some demo
742 code to show how to use it.
744 Put the wxIcon constructor back in for GTK as it now has one that
747 Added wxGrid.GetCells
749 Added wxSystemSettings static methods as functions with names like
750 wxSystemSettings_GetSystemColour.
752 Removed wxPyMenu since using menu callbacks have been depreciated in
753 wxWindows. Use wxMenu and events instead.
755 Added alternate wxBitmap constructor (for MSW only) as
756 wxBitmapFromData(data, type, width, height, depth = 1)
758 Added a helper function named wxPyTypeCast that can convert shadow
759 objects of one type into shadow objects of another type. (Like doing
760 a down-cast.) See the implementation in wx.py for some docs.
762 Fixed wxImage GetData and SetData to properly use String objects for
765 Added access methods to wxGridEvent.
767 New Makefile/Setup files supporting multiple dynamic extension modules
770 Fixes for the wxGLCanvas demo to work around a strange bug in gtk.
772 SWIG support routines now compiled separately instead of being bundled
781 Fixed wxComboBox.SetSelection so that it actually sets the selected
782 item. (Actually just removed it from wxPython and let it default to
783 wxChoice.SetSelection which was already doing the right thing.)
785 Added the Printing Framework.
787 Switched back to using the wxWindows DLL for the pre-built Win32
788 version. The problem was needing to reinitialize static class info
789 data after loading each extension module.
791 Lots of little tweaks and additions to reflect changes to various
794 Fixed a bug with attaching objects to tree items. Actually was a
795 symptom of a larger problem with not obtaining the interpreter lock
796 when doing any Py_DECREFs.
798 wxSizer and friends. Sizers are layout tools that manage a colection
799 of windows and sizers. Different types of sizers apply different
800 types of layout algorithms. You saw it here first! These classes are
801 not even in the wxWindows C++ library yet!
807 Bug fix for ListCtrl in test4.py (Was a missing file... DSM!)
809 Bug fix for occassional GPF on Win32 systems upon termination of a
810 wxPython application.
812 Added wxListBox.GetSelections returning selections as a Tuple.
814 Added a wxTreeItemData that is able to hold any Python object and be
815 associated with items in a wxTreeCtrl. Added test pytree.py to show
818 Added wxSafeYield function.
820 OpenGL Canvas can be optionally compiled in to wxPython.
822 Awesome new Demo Framework for showing off wxPython and for learning
825 The pre-built Win32 version is no longer distributing the wxWindows
826 DLL. It is statically linked with the wxWindows library instead.
828 Added a couple missing items from the docs.
830 Added wxImage, wxImageHandler, wxPNGHandler, wxJPEGHandler,
831 wxGIFHandler and wxBMPHandler.
833 Added new methods to wxTextCtrl.
835 Fixed some problems with how SWIG was wrapping some wxTreeCtrl
842 Support for using Python threads in wxPython apps.
844 Several missing methods from various classes.
852 Added DLG_PNT and DLG_SZE convienience methods to wxWindow class.
854 Added missing constructor and other methods for wxMenuItem.
860 Just a quickie update to fix the self-installer to be compatible with
861 Python 1.5.2b2's Registry settings.
866 Well obviously the numbering scheme has changed. I did this to
867 reflect the fact that this truly is the second major revision of
868 wxPython, (well the third actually if you count the one I did for
869 wxWindows 1.68 and then threw away...) and also that it is associated
870 with the 2.0 version of wxWindows.
872 I have finally started documenting wxPython. There are several pages
873 in the wxWindows documentation tree specifically about wxPython, and I
874 have added notes within the class references about where and how wxPython
875 diverges from wxWindows.
877 Added wxWindow_FromHWND(hWnd) for wxMSW to construct a wxWindow from a
878 window handle. If you can get the window handle into the python code,
879 it should just work... More news on this later.
881 Added wxImageList, wxToolTip.
883 Re-enabled wxConfig.DeleteAll() since it is reportedly fixed for the
886 As usual, some bug fixes, tweaks, etc.
892 Added wxSashWindow, wxSashEvent, wxLayoutAlgorithm, etc.
894 Various cleanup, tweaks, minor additions, etc. to maintain
895 compatibility with the current wxWindows.
901 Changed the import semantics from "from wxPython import *" to "from
902 wxPython.wx import *" This is for people who are worried about
903 namespace pollution, they can use "from wxPython import wx" and then
904 prefix all the wxPython identifiers with "wx."
906 Added wxTaskbarIcon for wxMSW.
908 Made the events work for wxGrid.
912 Added wxMiniFrame for wxGTK.
914 Changed many of the args and return values that were pointers to gdi
915 objects to references to reflect changes in the wxWindows API.
917 Other assorted fixes and additions.
925 wxPython on wxGTK works!!! Both dynamic and static on Linux and
926 static on Solaris have been tested. Many thanks go to Harm
927 <H.v.d.Heijden@phys.tue.nl> for his astute detective work on tracking
928 down a nasty DECREF bug. Okay so I have to confess that it was just a
929 DSM (Dumb Stupid Mistake) on my part but it was nasty none the less
930 because the behavior was so different on different platforms.
932 The dynamicly loaded module on Solaris is still segfaulting, so it
933 must have been a different issue all along...
940 1. Worked on wxGTK compatibility. It is partially working. On a
941 Solaris/Sparc box wxPython is working but only when it is statically
942 linked with the Python interpreter. When built as a dyamically loaded
943 extension module, things start acting weirdly and it soon seg-faults.
944 And on Linux both the statically linked and the dynamically linked
945 version segfault shortly after starting up.
947 2. Added Toolbar, StatusBar and SplitterWindow classes.
949 3. Varioius bug fixes, enhancements, etc.
