If you have more than one version of wxPython installed this module
allows your application to choose which version of wxPython will be
-imported when it does 'import wx'. You use it like this:
+imported when it does 'import wx'. The main function of this module
+is `select` and you use it like this::
import wxversion
- wxversion.require('2.4')
+ wxversion.select('2.4')
import wx
+Or additional build options can also be selected, although they will
+not be required if they are not installed, like this::
+
+ import wxversion
+ wxversion.select('2.5.3-unicode')
+ import wx
+
+Or you can require an exact match on the build options like this::
+
+ import wxversion
+ wxversion.select('2.5.3-unicode', optionsRequired=True)
+ import wx
+
+Finally you can also specify a collection of versions that are allowed
+by your application, like this::
+
+ import wxversion
+ wxversion.select(['2.5.4', '2.5.5', '2.6'])
+ import wx
+
+
Of course the default wxPython version can also be controlled by
setting PYTHONPATH or by editing the wx.pth path configuration file,
but using wxversion will allow an application to manage the version
environment correctly.
It works by searching the sys.path for directories matching wx-* and
-then comparing them to what was passed to the require function. If a
+then comparing them to what was passed to the select function. If a
match is found then that path is inserted into sys.path.
+
+NOTE: If you are making a 'bundle' of your application with a tool
+like py2exe then you should *not* use the wxversion module since it
+looks at the filesystem for the directories on sys.path, it will fail
+in a bundled environment. Instead you should simply ensure that the
+version of wxPython that you want is found by default on the sys.path
+when making the bundled version by setting PYTHONPATH. Then that
+version will be included in your bundle and your app will work as
+expected. Py2exe and the others usually have a way to tell at runtime
+if they are running from a bundle or running raw, so you can check
+that and only use wxversion if needed. For example, for py2exe::
+
+ if not hasattr(sys, 'frozen'):
+ import wxversion
+ wxversion.select('2.5')
+ import wx
+
+More documentation on wxversion and multi-version installs can be
+found at: http://wiki.wxpython.org/index.cgi/MultiVersionInstalls
