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.)
11 Added wxTextAttr class and SetStyle, SetDefaultStyle and
12 GetDefaultStyle methods to wxTextCtrl.
14 Added ability to use xml resource files. Still need to add ability to
15 subclass wxXmlResourceHandler, etc...
17 Added wxGridAutoEditMixin to the mixins library package.
19 Made ColourSelect be derived from wxButton.
21 Fixed img2py to work correctly with Python 2.1.
23 Added enhanced wxVTKRenderWindow by Prabhu Ramachandran
29 Removed initial startup dependency on the OpenGL DLLs so only the
30 glcanvasc.pyd depends on them, (on wxMSW.)
32 Changed wxFont, wxPen, wxBrush to not implicitly use the
33 wxThe[Font|Pen|Brush]List objects behind the scenes, but to use normal
36 Exposed the wxThe[Font|Pen|Brush]List to wxPython.
38 Also added wxTheColourDatabase and added a library module (in the
39 wxPython.lib.colourdb module) to load LOTS more colour names into the
42 Added wxWakeUpMainThread, wxMutexGuiEnter, wxMutexGuiLeave,
43 wxMutexGuiLocker and wxThread_IsMain to assist with dealing with GUI
44 access from non-GUI threads.
46 wxPyOnDemandOutputWindow is now (more) thread safe if non-GUI threads
47 use print, sys.stdout.write, etc.
49 Added CreateTextSizer and CreateButtonSizer to wxDialog
51 Added wxPython/lib/infoframe.py from Chris Fama. It contains a class
52 that can be used in place of wxPyOnDemandOutputWindow.
54 Added colourselect.py, imagebrowser.py and an updated calendar.py to
55 wxPython/lib from Lorne White.
57 Added patch to wxPoint_LIST_helper from Tim Hochberg that should make
58 it gobs faster in certain situations.
60 Added tools that will take an image file in a wx supported format and
61 convert it to data embedded in a Python source file. The image is
62 converted to XPM format which is essentially a list of strings
63 containing info about each pixel. The image's transparency mask is
64 included, if there is one, or a mask can be added if a mask colour is
65 specified on the command line. It is then pickled and optionally
66 compressed and written to a Python source file along with functions to
67 convert it to either a wxBitmap or a wxImage. See
68 wxPython/demo/images.py for examples, and wxPython/Tools/img2py.py for
71 Fixed wxStyledTextCtrl to be much faster on wxGTK. There was some
72 experimental code that got left in place that ended up causing way too
75 A couple more hacks in my_distutils.py so wxPython can be built with
76 the distutils that comes with Python 2.1.
78 Added a ton of missing methods for wxPrintData.
80 Switched to InnoSetup for MSW distributions.
84 Fixed bug that prevented wxTreeCtrl.OnCompareItems from being called.
86 Added some methods to wxGrid:
87 GetCellHighlightPenWidth
88 GetCellHighlightROPenWidth
89 SetCellHighlightPenWidth
90 SetCellHighlightROPenWidth
94 GetGridCornerLabelWindow
96 Added wxGetClientDisplayRect which on wxMSW returns a wxRect
97 representing the area on screen not occupied by the taskbar and such.
98 On other platforms it is equivallent to wxGetDisplaySize.
101 ***---***---***---***---***---***---***---***---***---***---***---
102 Implemented the first phase of OOR (Original Object Return). See
103 the text in the demo for more details of what this means, but in a
104 nutshell methods such as wxWindow.GetParent or FindWindowById will
105 now return a shadow object of the proper type if it can. By
106 "proper type" I mean that if the wxWindow pointer returned from
107 FindWindowById really points to a wxButton then the Python object
108 constructed will be of a wxButtonPtr class instead of wxWindowPtr
109 as before. This should reduce or eliminiate the need for
110 wxPyTypeCast. (Woo Hoo!) The objects returned are still not the
111 original Python object, but that is the next step. (Although it
112 will probably only work on Python 2.1 and beyond because it will
113 use weak references.)
115 This first phase of the OOR plan is fairly significant and has
116 required a lot of changes all over wxPython, most of which should
117 be transparent to you, however I'm not 100% sure that it didn't
118 introduce any new bugs that are hiding somewhere and didn't get
119 stomped on during my testing. So please be sure to test everything
120 thoroughly when you install this version and be sure to report any
121 object-type related oddities to me.
122 ***---***---***---***---***---***---***---***---***---***---***---
124 There is now a wxObject class that most other classes derive from like
125 in C++, but the methods provided don't really match but are wxPython
126 specific. It could have been added long ago but OOR required it so it
129 Finally added wxPyLineShape.GetLineControlPoints, which has been on my
130 list for a while. The above OOR modification made this easier.
132 Fixed the __cmp__ methods for wxPoint and others.
136 Added the wxPython.lib.mixins package to the library, it is where
137 useful mix-in classes can be placed. Currently there is one to help
138 make the columns in a wxListCtrl sortable, and the MagicIMageList from
139 Mike Fletcher. If you have any custom code that can be factored out
140 of existing classes into a mix-in that would be useful to others
141 please send it to me for inclusion in this package.
143 Added a few little sample applications to help newbies to get started
144 by having smaller functional apps to play with. They can be found in
153 No changes happened in the Python wrappers for this release, only
154 changes and fixes in the wxWindows library.
161 New typemaps for wxString when compiling for Python 2.0 and beyond
162 that allow Unicode objects to be passed as well as String objects. If
163 a Unicode object is passed PyString_AsStringAndSize is used to convert
164 it to a wxString using the default encoding.
166 Fixed the generic buttons so tool tips work for them.
168 Fixed a bug in the demo's tree control.
170 Added a listbox to the listbox demo that shows how to find items with
171 a matching prefix as keys are typed.
173 Added code to the wxListCtrl demo to show how to get text from a
174 column in report mode.
176 Added code to the toolbar demo to clear the long help from the status
181 Fixed wxTimer so it can be used as described in the docs, either with
182 a Notify method in a subclass, or sending an event to a wxEvtHandler
183 object, (usually a window.)
185 Added wxNotifyEvent.Allow()
187 Fixed GOBS of reference leaks.
189 Massive code changes and cleanup to allow wxPython to be split into
190 multiple extension modules again. A Python CObject is used to allow
191 the "export" of SWIG functions and other common helper functions from
192 the wxc module to other modules, even if they are in separate shared
193 libraries. Should also be usable from 3rd party code, just include
194 wxPython/src/export.h
196 Changed the default setup so the following are built as separate
197 extension modules: calendar, glcanvas, grid, html, ogl, stc, and
198 utils. Will probably add more later.
200 Changed the wxPrinterDC to use the new constructor taking a
201 wxPrintData object. The old ctor is still there using the
204 Added wxPython.lib.anchors.py from Riaan Booysen. It contains a class
205 that implements Delphi's Anchors with wxLayoutConstraints.
207 Added wxPython.lib.fancytext from Timothy Hochberg.
209 Changed the GenericButtons to send their event in idle time, so the
210 mouse won't be captured when the event handler is called.
212 Added wxPython.lib.rpcMixin from Greg Landrum, although it's not
213 integrated with the demo yet. It allows a wxPython GUI to be an
221 Significantly changed how the wxStyledtextCtrl code that wraps
222 Scintilla is implemented. Most of it is now automatically generated
223 from an interface definition file provided by Scintilla. This means
224 that it will be much easier to stay in sync with new Scintilla
225 releases, but also means that some of the method and identifier names
226 have changed. See wxPython/demo/data/stc.h for a copy of the C++
227 interface from which the Python interface is generated. There is now
228 some inline documentation in that file that should really help explain
231 I am now using the Python Distutils to build wxPython and to make some
232 of the distribution files. (See http://www.python.org/sigs/distutils-sig/)
233 This means no more messing with my kludgy build.py/Makefile hack,
234 builds will be more consistent with other Python extensions that also
235 use Distutils, and will hopefully make wxPython easier to build for
236 platforms where there have been troubles before. If you are building
237 wxPython for Python 1.5.2 or for 1.6, then you will need to get and
238 install version 1.0 of Distutils from the website above. If you are
239 using Python 2.0 then you already have it.
241 Added wxInputStream and the wxFileSystem family of classes,
242 contributed by Joerg Baumann.
244 Added wxProcess and support for it to wxExecute. wxProcess lets you
245 get notified when an asyncronous child process terminates, and also to
246 get input/output streams for the child process's stdout, stderr and
249 Removed the old python sizers.
251 Added __add__, __sub__ and __cmp__ (equality check only) for wxPoint
254 Changed the build to make one big extension module instead of one for
255 the core and each contrib. This allowed me to do away with the
256 libwxPyHelpers.so on unix systems.
258 Lots of little fixes here and there.
260 Some hacks on wxGTK to try and make the AutoComplete listbox in the
261 wxStyledTextCtrl to behave better. It's still not as nice as on
262 wxMSW, but at least it's a bit more usable now.
270 Various tweaks, fixes, missing methods, etc.
272 Added example use of wxTaskBarIcon to the demo.
279 Added wxLog and friends.
281 Added wxFrame.ShowFullScreen for MSW.
283 Added PyShellWindow to the wxPython.lib package.
290 Added an attribute named labelDelta to the generic buttons that
291 specifies how far to offset the label when the button is in the
294 Added wxTipProvider and friends. See the demo for an example.
296 wxGrid can now change the cell highlight colour.
300 Fixed printing on wxGTK.
302 Added wxDateTime, wxTimeSpan, and wxDateSpan to wxPython.utils.
304 Added wxCalendarCtrl.
306 WARNING: A while back I asked what should be done about the Magic
307 Method Names. (Methods that are automatically turned into event
308 handlers by virtue of their name.) The consensus was that it is more
309 confusing to have them than to try and expand them to have greater
310 coverage. I am finally getting around to removing the code that
311 generates the event binding. This means that if you are using any of
312 the following method names without a EVT_* call that you need to
313 modify your code to add the EVT_* to hook the event to the method.
335 Fixed wxTreeCtrl.HitTest to return both the tree item as well as the
336 flags that clairify where the click was in relation to the item.
338 Fixed thread state problem in wxTreeCtrl.GetBoundingBox and
341 Fixed some problems in OGL. Also wxShape.SetClientData and
342 .GetClientData can now deal with Python objects.
344 Added wxListCtrl.SortItems and changed the demo to show how to use it.
346 Plugged a memory leak.
348 Wrapped the new wxGrid and friends. The old wxGrid class is no longer
349 available. There are some incompatibilities, and unfortunately the
350 new classes are not documented yet, (however the methods are more
351 consistent with each other now so you may be able to guess pretty
354 Updated filebrowsebutton.py and calendar.py with changes from their
355 authors. There is now a FileBrowseButtonWithHistory class (what a
356 mouthful!) and wxCalendar has printing support.
358 Added ActiveXWrapper to the library, and some good demos of it too.
359 It works great for embedding a COM (a.k.a OCX, a.k.a ActiveX) control
360 in a window and calling its methods. It actually creates a new class
361 on the fly that derives from wxWindow, the COM CoClass and others
362 needed to make it all work. The resulting class can be instantiated
363 just like wxWindow, used in sizers, etc. It also responds to all COM
364 method calls, properties, etc., and if the class or a mix-in has
365 matching method names, then the COM events will be propogated back to
368 Created a typemap that allows a string to be used for parameters
369 expecting a wxColour type. The string is either a colour name as
370 defined in the wxColourDatabase, or a colour spec of the form
371 "#RRGGBB". See the wxStyledTextCtrl demo for an example.
373 I almost forgot to mention the wxStyledTextCtrl! Yes, the
374 wxStyledTextCtrl is finally in wxPython!! (And the crowd goes
375 wild...) There's no documentaTion yet (the crowd boos and hisses...)
376 but I've included a very readable source file in the
377 wxPython/demo/data directory, a couple fairly good examples, and you
378 can also refer to the Scintilla documentaion at
379 http://www.scintilla.org/ScintillaDoc.html to help fill in the gaps
380 until the docs are done. (The croud murmers contentedly as the tool
381 provider smiles convincingly and removes his flame-proof suit.)
388 Skipped a version number to match what has been released for wxGTK.
390 Updated wxMVCTree and added a demo for it, also fixed layout on GTK
391 and some flicker problems.
393 Added a wrapper class for the Visualization ToolKit (or VTK) in the
394 wxPython.lib.vtk module. (http://www.kitware.com/)
396 Fixed wxTreeCtrl.SetItemImage and GetItemImage to recognise the new
399 Added wxPython.lib.spashscreen from Mike Fletcher.
401 Added wxPython.lib.filebrowsebutton also from Mike Fletcher.
403 Renamed wxTreeCtrl.GetParent to GetItemParent to avoid a name clash
404 with wxWindow.GetParent.
406 Added wxIntersectRect to compute the intersection of two wxRect's.
407 It is used like this:
409 intersect = wxIntersectRect(rect1, rect2)
411 If r1 and r2 don't intersect then None is returned, otherwise the
412 rectangle representing the intersection is returned.
414 Some bug fixes for Clipboard and Drag-n-Drop.
416 Rotated text!!! WooHoo! (See wxDC.DrawRotatedText())
418 Added a set of Generic Buttons to the library. These are simple
419 window classes that look and act like native buttons, but you can have
420 a bit more control over them. The bezel width can be set in addition
421 to colours, fonts, etc. There is a ToggleButton as well as Bitmap
422 versions too. They should also serve as a good example of how to
423 create your own classes derived from wxControl.
425 The C++ wxToolBar classes have been redone, and so have the wxPython
426 wrappers. There have been slight modifications to some of the methods
427 but shouldn't impact anybody too much. I took the opportunity to add
428 support for setting user data on each toolbar tool. The new AddTool
429 methods look like this:
433 pushedBitmap = wxNullBitmap,
436 shortHelpString = "",
439 def AddSimpleTool(ID,
441 shortHelpString = "",
446 There are also coresponding InsertTool and InsertSimpleTool methods
447 that additionally take an integer position as the first parameter.
449 Added a wrapper for the new PCX and TIFF ImageHandlers.
451 wxRect now simulates attributes named left, right, top and bottom.
453 Removed all non wx stuff from the glcanvas module since DA's PyOpenGL
454 is better and compatible with the wxGLCanvas. You can get it at
455 http://starship.python.net:9673/crew/da/Code/PyOpenGL.
457 Added some missing EVT_ functions.
459 Added Dirk Holtwic's editor classes to the wxPython.lib.editor
462 Changed all the "LIST" parameter names to "choices" to match the docs.
464 More fixes for the wxFloatBar, and it now works on wxGTK even better
465 than wxMSW! (The feat is accomplished by using the wxTB_DOCKABLE
466 style flag instead of trying to float it ourselves.)
473 Skipped a few version numbers so wxMSW, wxGTK and wxPython are all
476 wxImage.SetData now makes a copy of the image data before giving it to
477 wxImage. I mistakenly thought that wxImage would copy the data
480 Fixed wxMSW's notebook so the pages get their size set as they are
481 being added. This should remove the need for our
482 wxNotebook.ResizeChildren hack.
484 wxPanels now support AutoLayout, and wxNotebooks and wxSplitterWindows
485 no longer tell their children to Layout() themselves. This will
486 probably only effect you if you have a wxWindow with AutoLayout inside
487 a notebook or splitter. If so, either change it to a wxPanel or add
488 an EVT_SIZE handler that calls Layout().
490 Fixed deadlock problem that happened when using threads.
492 Added new HTML printing classes.
494 Added wxWindow.GetHandle
496 Apparently wxMouseEvent.Position has been depreciated in wxWindows as
497 it is no longer available by default. You can use GetPositionTuple
498 (returning a tuple with x,y) instead, or GetPosition (returning a
501 Added wxPostEvent function that allows events to be posted and then
502 processed later. This is a thread-safe way to interact with the GUI
503 thread from other threads.
505 Added Clipboard and Drag-and-Drop classes.
507 Added wxFontEnumerator.
509 Many updates to wxMenu, wxMenuBar.
511 wxPyEvent and wxPyCommandEvent derived classes now give you the actual
512 Python object in the event handler instead of a new shadow.
514 Added a Calendar widget from Lorne White to the library.
516 Made some fixes to the wxFloatbar. It still has some troubles on
519 Added an MVC tree control from Bryn Keller to the library.
526 This is a quick bug-fix release to take care of a few nasties that
527 crept in at the last minute before 2.1.4 was called done. No new
535 This release is NOT syncronized with a snapshot release of wxGTK or
536 wxMSW. For MSW this isn't much of a problem since you can get the
537 binaries from the web site. For other platforms you'll have to build
538 wxGTK from CVS. (See http://web.ukonline.co.uk/julian.smart/wxwin/cvs.htm)
539 To get the same set of sources from CVS that I used, checkout using
542 Now back to what's new...
544 Much more support for event-less callbacks and add-on modules.
546 Created add-on module with wxOGL classes.
548 Added wxWindow.GetChildren(). Be careful of this. It returns a *copy*
549 of the list of the window's children. While you are using the list if
550 anything changes in the real list (a child is deleted, etc.) then the
551 list you are holding will suddenly have window references to garbage
552 memory and your app will likely crash. But if you are careful it works
555 Added a bunch of new and missing methods to wxTreeCrtl. The
556 SortChildren method is now supported, but currently only for the
559 Added typemaps for wxSize, wxPoint, wxRealPoint, and wxRect that allow
560 either the actual objects or Python sequence values to be used. For
561 example, the following are equivallent:
563 win = wxWindow(parent, size = wxSize(100, 100))
564 win = wxWindow(parent, size = (100, 100))
566 Super-charged the wxHtml module. You can now create your own tag
567 handlers and also have access to the parser and cell classes. There
568 is a tag handler in the library at wxPython.lib.wxpTag that
569 understands the WXP tag and is able to place wxPython windows on HTML
570 pages. See the demo for an example.
572 A bunch of the methods of wxMenuBar were previously ifdef'd out for
573 wxGTK. Added them back in since the methods exist now.
575 Wrapped the wxHtmlHelpController and related classes.
577 Wrapped the C++ versions of wxSizer and friends. The Python-only
578 versions are still in the library, but depreciated. (You will get a
579 warning message if you try to use them, but the warning can be
580 disabled.) The usage of the C++ versions is slightly different, and
581 the functionality of wxBorderSizer is now part of wxBoxSizer. I have
582 added a few methods to wxSizer to try and make the transition as
583 smooth as possible, I combined all Add methods into a single method
584 that handles all cases, added an AddMany method, etc. One step I did
585 not take was to make the default value of flag in the Add method be
586 wxGROW. This would have made it more backward compatible, but less
587 portable to and from wxWin C++ code. Please see the docs and demo for
590 Added wxPyEvent and wxPyCommandEvent classes, derived from wxEvent and
591 wxCommandEvent. Each of them has SetPyData and GetPyData methods that
592 accept or return a single Python object. You can use these classes
593 directly or derive from them to create your own types of event objects
594 that can pass through the wxWindows event system without loosing their
595 Python parts (as long as they are stored with SetPyData.) Stay tuned
596 for more info and examples in future releases.
598 Added wxPython.lib.grids as an example of how to derive a new sizer
599 from the C++ sizers. In this module you will find wxGridSizer and
600 wxFlexGridSizer. wxGridSizer arrainges its items in a grid in which
601 all the widths and heights are the same. wxFlexgridSizer allows
602 different widths and heights, and you can also specify rows and/or
603 columns that are growable. See the demo for a couple examples for how
606 Added the wxValidator class, and created a class named wxPyValidator
607 that should be used for the base class of any Python validators. See
608 the demo for an example. Please note that you MUST implement a Clone
609 method in your validator classes because of the way some things work
610 in the underlying C++ library. I did not add wxTextValidator because
611 of some issues of how it transfers data to and from a wxString, which
612 in wxPython is automatically translated to and from Python strings, so
613 there would never be a concrete wxString that would hang around long
614 enough for the validator to do its job. On the other hand, it should
615 be real easy to duplicate the functionality of wxTextValidator in a
616 pure Python class derived from wxPyValidator.
618 I've finally added a feature that has been on my list for close to two
619 years! Ever wondered what that zero is for when you create your app
620 object? Well now you can leave it out or explicitly set it to a true
621 value. This value now controls what is to be done with sys.stdout and
622 sys.stderr. A false value leaves them alone, and a true value sets
623 them to an instance of wxPyOnDemandOutputWindow. (On windows the
624 default is true, on unix platforms the default is false.) This class
625 creates a frame containing a wxTextCtrl as soon as anything is written
626 to sys.stdout or sys.stderr. If you close the window it will come
627 back again the next time something is written. (You can call
628 app.RestoreStdio to turn this off.) If you would rather that the stdio be
629 redirected to a file, you can provide a second parameter to your app
630 object's constructor that is a filename. If you want to use your own
631 class instead of wxPyOnDemandOutputWindow you can either implement
632 RedirectStdio() in you app class or change the value of
633 wxApp.outputWindowClass like this:
636 outputWindowClass = MyClass
640 self.SetTopWindow(frame)
643 Please see the implementation of wxPyOnDemandOutputWindow and wxApp in
644 wx.py for more details. A few words of caution: if you are running
645 your app in a debugger, changing sys.stdout and sys.stderr is likely
646 to really screw things up.
648 Added wxCaret. Unfortunately it's author has still not documented it
649 in the wxWindows docs...
651 Some new 3rd party contributions in wxPython.lib. PyShell, in
652 shell.py is an interesting implementaion of an interactive Python
653 shell in wxWindows. floatbar.py has a class derived from wxToolBar
654 that can sense mouse drags and then reparent itself into another
655 frame. Moving the new frame close to where it came from puts the tool
656 bar back into the original parent. (Unfortunately there is currently
657 a bug in wxGTK's wxFrame.SetToolBar so the FloatBar has some
666 This release is syncronized with release 2.1 snapshot 9 of wxWindows.
668 Switched to using SWIG from CVS (see http://swig.cs.uchicago.edu/cvs.html)
669 for some of the new features and such. Also they have encorporated my
670 patches so there is really no reason to stick with the current (very
671 old) release... This version of SWIG gives the following new
674 1. Keyword arguments. You no longer have to specify all the
675 parameters with defaults to a method just to specify a
676 non-default value on the end. You can now do this instead:
678 win = wxWindow(parent, -1, style = mystyle)
680 2. There is now an an equivalence between Python's None and C++'s
681 NULL. This means that any methods that might return NULL will
682 now return None and you can use none where wxWindows might be
683 expecting NULL. This makes things much more snake-ish.
686 There is a new build system based on a new Python program instead of
687 raw makefiles. Now wxPython builds are virtually the same on MSW or
688 Unix systems. See the end of this file for new build instructions and
689 see distrib/build.py for more details.
691 wxDC.Bilt now includes the useMask parameter, and has been split into
692 two different versions. wxDC.BlitXY is like what was there before and
693 takes raw coordinants and sizes, and the new wxDC.Blit is for the new
694 interface using wxPoints and a wxSize.
703 Added the missing wxWindow.GetUpdateRegion() method.
705 Made a new change in SWIG (update your patches everybody) that
706 provides a fix for global shadow objects that get an exception in
707 their __del__ when their extension module has already been deleted.
708 It was only a 1 line change in .../SWIG/Modules/pycpp.cxx at about
709 line 496 if you want to do it by hand.
711 It is now possible to run through MainLoop more than once in any one
712 process. The cleanup that used to happen as MainLoop completed (and
713 prevented it from running again) has been delayed until the wxc module
714 is being unloaded by Python.
716 I fixed a bunch of stuff in the C++ version of wxGrid so it wouldn't
717 make wxPython look bad.
719 wxWindow.PopupMenu() now takes a wxPoint instead of x,y. Added
720 wxWindow.PopupMenuXY to be consistent with some other methods.
722 Added wxGrid.SetEditInPlace and wxGrid.GetEditInPlace.
724 You can now provide your own app.MainLoop method. See
725 wxPython/demo/demoMainLoop.py for an example and some explaination.
727 Got the in-place-edit for the wxTreeCtrl fixed and added some demo
728 code to show how to use it.
730 Put the wxIcon constructor back in for GTK as it now has one that
733 Added wxGrid.GetCells
735 Added wxSystemSettings static methods as functions with names like
736 wxSystemSettings_GetSystemColour.
738 Removed wxPyMenu since using menu callbacks have been depreciated in
739 wxWindows. Use wxMenu and events instead.
741 Added alternate wxBitmap constructor (for MSW only) as
742 wxBitmapFromData(data, type, width, height, depth = 1)
744 Added a helper function named wxPyTypeCast that can convert shadow
745 objects of one type into shadow objects of another type. (Like doing
746 a down-cast.) See the implementation in wx.py for some docs.
748 Fixed wxImage GetData and SetData to properly use String objects for
751 Added access methods to wxGridEvent.
753 New Makefile/Setup files supporting multiple dynamic extension modules
756 Fixes for the wxGLCanvas demo to work around a strange bug in gtk.
758 SWIG support routines now compiled separately instead of being bundled
767 Fixed wxComboBox.SetSelection so that it actually sets the selected
768 item. (Actually just removed it from wxPython and let it default to
769 wxChoice.SetSelection which was already doing the right thing.)
771 Added the Printing Framework.
773 Switched back to using the wxWindows DLL for the pre-built Win32
774 version. The problem was needing to reinitialize static class info
775 data after loading each extension module.
777 Lots of little tweaks and additions to reflect changes to various
780 Fixed a bug with attaching objects to tree items. Actually was a
781 symptom of a larger problem with not obtaining the interpreter lock
782 when doing any Py_DECREFs.
784 wxSizer and friends. Sizers are layout tools that manage a colection
785 of windows and sizers. Different types of sizers apply different
786 types of layout algorithms. You saw it here first! These classes are
787 not even in the wxWindows C++ library yet!
793 Bug fix for ListCtrl in test4.py (Was a missing file... DSM!)
795 Bug fix for occassional GPF on Win32 systems upon termination of a
796 wxPython application.
798 Added wxListBox.GetSelections returning selections as a Tuple.
800 Added a wxTreeItemData that is able to hold any Python object and be
801 associated with items in a wxTreeCtrl. Added test pytree.py to show
804 Added wxSafeYield function.
806 OpenGL Canvas can be optionally compiled in to wxPython.
808 Awesome new Demo Framework for showing off wxPython and for learning
811 The pre-built Win32 version is no longer distributing the wxWindows
812 DLL. It is statically linked with the wxWindows library instead.
814 Added a couple missing items from the docs.
816 Added wxImage, wxImageHandler, wxPNGHandler, wxJPEGHandler,
817 wxGIFHandler and wxBMPHandler.
819 Added new methods to wxTextCtrl.
821 Fixed some problems with how SWIG was wrapping some wxTreeCtrl
828 Support for using Python threads in wxPython apps.
830 Several missing methods from various classes.
838 Added DLG_PNT and DLG_SZE convienience methods to wxWindow class.
840 Added missing constructor and other methods for wxMenuItem.
846 Just a quickie update to fix the self-installer to be compatible with
847 Python 1.5.2b2's Registry settings.
852 Well obviously the numbering scheme has changed. I did this to
853 reflect the fact that this truly is the second major revision of
854 wxPython, (well the third actually if you count the one I did for
855 wxWindows 1.68 and then threw away...) and also that it is associated
856 with the 2.0 version of wxWindows.
858 I have finally started documenting wxPython. There are several pages
859 in the wxWindows documentation tree specifically about wxPython, and I
860 have added notes within the class references about where and how wxPython
861 diverges from wxWindows.
863 Added wxWindow_FromHWND(hWnd) for wxMSW to construct a wxWindow from a
864 window handle. If you can get the window handle into the python code,
865 it should just work... More news on this later.
867 Added wxImageList, wxToolTip.
869 Re-enabled wxConfig.DeleteAll() since it is reportedly fixed for the
872 As usual, some bug fixes, tweaks, etc.
878 Added wxSashWindow, wxSashEvent, wxLayoutAlgorithm, etc.
880 Various cleanup, tweaks, minor additions, etc. to maintain
881 compatibility with the current wxWindows.
887 Changed the import semantics from "from wxPython import *" to "from
888 wxPython.wx import *" This is for people who are worried about
889 namespace pollution, they can use "from wxPython import wx" and then
890 prefix all the wxPython identifiers with "wx."
892 Added wxTaskbarIcon for wxMSW.
894 Made the events work for wxGrid.
898 Added wxMiniFrame for wxGTK.
900 Changed many of the args and return values that were pointers to gdi
901 objects to references to reflect changes in the wxWindows API.
903 Other assorted fixes and additions.
911 wxPython on wxGTK works!!! Both dynamic and static on Linux and
912 static on Solaris have been tested. Many thanks go to Harm
913 <H.v.d.Heijden@phys.tue.nl> for his astute detective work on tracking
914 down a nasty DECREF bug. Okay so I have to confess that it was just a
915 DSM (Dumb Stupid Mistake) on my part but it was nasty none the less
916 because the behavior was so different on different platforms.
918 The dynamicly loaded module on Solaris is still segfaulting, so it
919 must have been a different issue all along...
926 1. Worked on wxGTK compatibility. It is partially working. On a
927 Solaris/Sparc box wxPython is working but only when it is statically
928 linked with the Python interpreter. When built as a dyamically loaded
929 extension module, things start acting weirdly and it soon seg-faults.
930 And on Linux both the statically linked and the dynamically linked
931 version segfault shortly after starting up.
933 2. Added Toolbar, StatusBar and SplitterWindow classes.
935 3. Varioius bug fixes, enhancements, etc.
