**wxWidgets**. Please see here_ for more details.

to try and smooth the transition as much as possible, but I wanted you
all to be aware of this change if you run into any issues.

Windows where most anything was possible before.)

Public data members of the C++ classes are wrapped as Python

The relationship between the wxFoo and wxFooPtr classes have
changed for the better. Specifically, all instances that you see

All of the EVT_* functions are now instances of the wx.PyEventBinder
class. They have a __call__ method so they can still be used as
functions like before, but making them instances adds some
-flexibility.

wx.EvtHandler (the base class for wx.Window) now has a Bind method that
makes binding events to windows a little easier. Here is its

want to be able to use them with the Bind method above then you should

myCustomEventType = wxNewEventType()
def EVT_MY_CUSTOM_EVENT(win, id, func):
The second parameter is an integer in [0, 1, 2] that specifies the
number of IDs that are needed to be passed to Connect.
+**[Changed in 2.5.2.x]** There is also an Unbind method added to
+wx.EvtHandler that can be used to disconenct event handlers. It looks
+like this::

A few notes about how all of this was accomplished might be
interesting... SWIG is now run twice for each module that it is
New wx.DC Methods
-----------------
-Many of the Draw methods of wx.DC have alternate forms in C++ that take
-wxPoint or wxSize parameters (let's call these *Type A*) instead of
-the individual x, y, width, height, etc. parameters (and we'll call
-these *Type B*). In the rest of the library I normally made the *Type
-A* forms of the methods be the default method with the "normal" name,
-and had renamed the *Type B* forms of the methods to some similar
-name. For example in wx.Window we have these Python methods::
-
- SetSize(size) # Type A
- SetSizeWH(width, height) # Type B
-
-
-For various reasons the new *Type A* methods in wx.DC were never added
-and the existing *Type B* methods were never renamed. Now that lots
-of other things are also changing in wxPython it has been decided that
-it is a good time to also do the method renaming in wx.DC too in order
-to be consistent with the rest of the library. The methods in wx.DC
-that are affected are listed here::
-
- FloodFillXY(x, y, colour, style = wx.FLOOD_SURFACE)
- FloodFill(point, colour, style = wx.FLOOD_SURFACE)
+**[Changed in 2.5.2.x]** In wxPython 2.5.1.5 there was a new
+implementation of the wx.DC Draw and other methods that broke
+backwards compatibility in the name of consistency. That change has
+been reverted and the wx.DC Draw methods with 2.4 compatible
+signatures have been restored. In addition a new set of methods have
+been added that take wx.Point and/or wx.Size parameters instead of
+separate integer parameters. The Draw and etc. methods now available
+in the wx.DC class are::
- GetPixelXY(x, y)
- GetPixel(point)
- DrawLineXY(x1, y1, x2, y2)
- DrawLine(point1, point2)
+ FloodFill(self, x, y, colour, style = wx.FLOOD_SURFACE)
+ FoodFillPoint(self, pt, colour, style = wx.FLOOD_SURFACE)
- CrossHairXY(x, y)
- CrossHair(point)

- DrawArcXY(x1, y1, x2, y2, xc, yc)
- DrawArc(point1, point2, center)

- DrawRectangle(point, size)
- DrawRectangleRect(rect)
+ GetPixel(self, x,y)
+ GetPixelPoint(self, pt)

+ DrawCheckMarkRect(self, rect)
- DrawIconXY(icon, x, y)
- DrawIcon(icon, point)
+ DrawEllipticArc(self, x, y, w, h, sa, ea)
+ DrawEllipticArcPointSize(self, pt, sz, sa, ea)
- DrawBitmapXY(bmp, x, y, useMask = FALSE)
- DrawBitmap(bmp, point, useMask = FALSE)
+ DrawPoint(self, x, y)
+ DrawPointPoint(self, pt)
- DrawTextXY(text, x, y)
- DrawText(text, point)
+ DrawRectangle(self, x, y, width, height)
+ DrawRectangleRect(self, rect)
+ DrawRectanglePointSize(self, pt, sz)
- DrawRotatedTextXY(text, x, y, angle)
- DrawRotatedText(text, point, angle)

- rop = wxCOPY, useMask = FALSE, srcPtMask = wx.DefaultPosition)
+ DrawCircle(self, x, y, radius)
+ DrawCirclePoint(self, pt, radius)

- SetClippingRegionAsRegion(region);

-If you have code that draws on a DC and you are using the new wx
-namespace then you **will** get errors because of these changes, but
-it should be easy to fix the code. You can either change the name of
-the *Type B* method called to the names shown above, or just add
-parentheses around the parameters as needed to turn them into tuples
-and let the SWIG typemaps turn them into the wx.Point or wx.Size
-object that is expected. Then you will be calling the new *Type A*
-method. For example, if you had this code before::
+ DrawIcon(self, icon, x, y)
+ DrawIconPoint(self, icon, pt)
- dc.DrawRectangle(x, y, width, height)
+ DrawBitmap(self, bmp, x, y, useMask = False)
+ DrawBitmapPoint(self, bmp, pt, useMask = False)
-You could either continue to use the *Type B* method bu changing the
-name to DrawRectabgleXY, or just change it to the new *Type A* by
-adding some parentheses like this::
+ DrawText(self, text, x, y)
+ DrawTextPoint(self, text, pt)
- dc.DrawRectangle((x, y), (width, height))
+ DrawRotatedText(self, text, x, y, angle)
+ DrawRotatedTextPoint(self, text, pt, angle)
-Or if you were already using a point and size::
+ bool Blit(self, xdest, ydest, width, height, sourceDC, xsrc, ysrc,
+ rop = wx.COPY, useMask = False, xsrcMask = -1, ysrcMask = -1)
+ BlitPointSize(self, destPt, sz, sourceDC, srcPt, rop = wx.COPY,
+ useMask = False, srcPtMask = wxDefaultPosition)
- dc.DrawRectangle(p.x, p.y, s.width, s.height)
-Then you can just simplify it like this::
+ SetClippingRegion(self, x, y, width, height)
+ SetClippingRegionPointSize(self, pt, sz)
+ SetClippingRegionAsRegion(self, region)
+ SetClippingRect(self, rect)
- dc.DrawRectangle(p, s)
-Now before you start yelling and screaming at me for breaking all your
-code, take note that I said above "...using the new wx namespace..."
-That's because if you are still importing from wxPython.wx then there
-are some classes defined there with Draw and etc. methods that have
-2.4 compatible signatures. However if/when the old wxPython.wx
-namespace is removed then these classes will be removed too so you
-should plan on migrating to the new namespace and new DC Draw methods
-before that time.

+unix-like systems the wxPython headers are installed to the same place
+that the wxWidgets headers are installed, so if you are building
+wxPython compatible extensions on those platforms then your include
+path should already be set properly.
+
+If you are also using SWIG for your extension then you'll need to
+adapt how the wxPython .i files are imported into your .i files. See
+the wxPython sources for examples. Your modules will need to at least
+``%import core.i``, and possibly others if you need the definition of
+other classes. Since you will need them to build your modules using
+SWIG, the main wxPython .i files are also installed with the wxPython
+headers in an i_files sibdirectory. It should be enough to pass a
+-I/pathname on the command line for SWIG to find the files.
+
+The bulk of wxPython's setup.py has been moved to another module,
+wx/build/config.py. This module will be installed as part of wxPython
+so 3rd party modules that wish to use the same setup/configuration
+code can do so simply by importing this module from their own setup.py
+scripts using ``import wx.build.config``.
You no longer need to call wxClassInfo::CleanUpClasses() and
wxClassInfo::InitializeClasses() in your extensions or when embedding
wxPython.
+The usage of wxPyBeginAllowThreads and wxPyEndAllowThreads has changed
+slightly. wxPyBeginAllowThreads now returns a boolean value that must
+be passed to the coresponding wxPyEndAllowThreads function call. This
+is to help do the RightThing when calls to these two functions are
+nested, or if calls to external code in other extension modules that
+are wrapped in the standard Py_(BEGIN|END)_ALLOW_THERADS may result in
+wx event handlers being called (such as during the call to
+os.startfile.)

+

+AddWindow, AddSize, AddSpacer and etc. will now issue a
+DeprecationWarning.
+
+**[Changed in 2.5.2.x]** wx.ADJUST_MINSIZE is now the default
+behaviour for window items in sizers. This means that the item's
+GetMinSize and/or GetBestSize will be called when calculating layout
+and the return value from that will be used for the minimum size used
+by the sizer. The wx.FIXED_MINSIZE flag was added that will cause the
+sizer to use the old behaviour in that it will *not* call the window's
+methods to determine the new best size, instead the minsize that the
+window had when added to the sizer (or the size the window was created
+with) will always be used.
+
+Related to the above, when controls and some other window types are
+created either the size passed to the constructor, or their "best
+size" if an explicit size was not passed in, is set as the window's
+minimal size. For non top-level windows that hasn't meant much in the
+past, but now the sizers are sensitive to the window's minimal size.
+The key point to understand here is that it is no longer the window's
+size it has when added to the sizer that matters, but its minimal
+size. So you might have some issues to iron out if you create a
+control without a size and then set its size to something before
+adding it to the sizer. Since it's minimal size is probably not the
+size you set then the sizer will appear to be misbehaving. The fix is
+to either set the size when calling the window's constructor, or to
+reset the min size by calling SetSizeHints. You can call SetSizeHints
+at anytime to change the minsize of a window, just call the sizer's
+Layout method to redistribute the controls as needed.

+PNG Images
+----------
+
+Prior to 2.5 the PNG image handler would convert all alpha channel
+information to a mask when the image was loaded. Pixels that were
+more than halfway transparent would be made fully transparent by the
+mask and the rest would be made fully opaque.
+
+In 2.5 the image handler has been updated to preserve the alpha
+channel and will now only create a mask when all the pixels in the
+image are either fully transparent or fully opaque. In addition, the
+wx.DC.DrawBitmap and wx.DC.Blit methods are able to correctly blend
+the pixels in the image with partially transparent alpha values.
+(Currently only on MSW and Mac, if anybody knows how to do it for GTK
+then please submit a patch!)
+
+If you are using a PNG with an alpha channel but you need to have a
+wx.Mask like you automatically got in 2.4 then you can do one of the
+following:
+
+ * Edit the image and make all the partially transparent pixels be
+ fully transparent.
+
+ * Use a different image type.
+
+ * Set a mask based on colour after you load the image.
+
+
+
+OGL is dead! LONG LIVE OGL!
+---------------------------
+
+**[Changed in 2.5.2.x]**
+
+The wx.ogl module has been deprecated in favor of the new Python port
+of the OGL library located at wx.lib.ogl contributed by Pierre Hjälm.
+This will hopefully greatly extend the life of OGL within wxPython by
+making it more easily maintainable and less prone to getting rusty as
+there seems to be less and less interest in maintaining the C++
+version.
+
+There are only a few known compatibility issues at this time. First
+is the location of OGL. The deprecated version is located in the
+wx.ogl module, and the new version is in the wx.lib.ogl package. So
+this just means that to start using the new version you need to adjust
+your imports. So if your code currently has something like this::
+
+ import wx
+ import wx.ogl as ogl
+
+Then just change it to this::
+
+ import wx
+ import wx.lib.ogl as ogl
+
+The other compatibility issue deals with removing a wart in the
+original API that was necessary in order to allow overloaded methods
+in derived classes to call the same method in the base class when
+using the old SWIG. Instead dedaling with the wart you can now just
+call the base class method like you woudl for any other Python class.
+For example, if you had to do something like this previously::
+
+ class MyDividedShape(ogl.DividedShape):
+ ...
+ def OnSizingEndDragLeft(self, pt, x, y, keys, attch):
+ self.base_OnSizingEndDragLeft(pt, x, y, keys, attch)
+ ...
+
+You will need to change it to be like this::
+
+ class MyDividedShape(ogl.DividedShape):
+ ...
+ def OnSizingEndDragLeft(self, pt, x, y, keys, attch):
+ ogl.DividedShape.OnSizingEndDragLeft(self, pt, x, y, keys, attch)
+ ...

into a single extension module, the "core" module is now just a few

all windows. The name still exists for compatibility, but it is set
The wxWave class has been renamed to wxSound, and now has a slightly
different API.
-wx.TaskbarIcon works on wxGTK-based platforms now, however you have to
-manage it a little bit more than you did before. Basically, the app

-enough if your main frame object holds the only reference to the

+
+Before Python 2.3 it was possible to pass a floating point object as a
+parameter to a function that expected an integer, and the
+PyArg_ParseTuple family of functions would automatically convert to
+integer by truncating the fractional portion of the number. With
+Python 2.3 that behavior was deprecated and a deprecation warning is
+raised when you pass a floating point value, (for example, calling
+wx.DC.DrawLine with floats for the position and size,) and lots of
+developers using wxPython had to scramble to change their code to call
+int() before calling wxPython methods. Recent changes in SWIG have
+moved the conversion out of PyArg_ParseTuple to custom code that SWIG
+generates. Since the default conversion fragment was a little too
+strict and didn't generate a very meaningful exception when it failed,
+I decided to use a custom fragment instead, and it turned out that
+it's very easy to allow floats to be converted again just like they
+used to be. So, in a nutshell, any numeric type that can be
+converted to an integer is now legal to be passed to SWIG wrapped
+functions in wxPython for parameters that are expecting an integer.
+If the object is not already an integer then it will be asked to
+convert itself to one. A similar conversion fragment is in place for
+parameters that expect floating point values.

+and will raise a DeprecationWarning if used. The main wx.Mask
