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