Building wxPython 2.7 for Development and Testing

Building wxPython 2.8 for Development and Testing

This file describes how I build wxWidgets and wxPython while doing development and testing, and is meant to help other people that want to do the same thing. I'll assume that you are using either a CVS snapshot from http://wxWidgets.org/snapshots/, a checkout from CVS, or -one of the released wxPython-src-2.7.* tarballs. I'll also assume that +one of the released wxPython-src-2.8.* tarballs.

Notice that above I used a prefix option of "/opt/wx/2.8". You can use whatever path you want, such as a path in your HOME dir or even one of the standard prefix paths such as /usr or /usr/local if you like, but using /opt this way lets me easily have multiple versions and ports of wxWidgets "installed" and makes it easy to switch between them, without impacting any versions of wxWidgets that may have been installed via an RPM or whatever.

 Recent Changes for wxPython
 
-2.7.2.0
+2.8.0.0
+
+
+
+Lots of fixes and updates to the AUI classes.
+Added wx.CollapsiblePane.  On wxGTK it uses a native expander widget,
+on the other platforms a regular button is used to control the
+collapsed/expanded state.
+Added the wx.combo module, which contains the ComboCtrl and ComboPopup
+classes.  These classes allow you to implement a wx.ComboBox-like
+widget where the popup can be nearly any kind of widget, and where you
+have a lot of control over other aspects of the combo widget as well.
+It works very well on GTK and MSW, using native renderers for drawing
+the combo button, but is unfortunatly still a bit klunky on OSX...
+Use system default paper size for printing instead of A4 by default.
+Added wx.combo.OwnerDrawnComboBox, which is a ComboCtrl that delegates
+the drawing of the items in the popup and in the control itself to
+overridden methods of a derived class, similarly to how wx.VListBox
+works.
+Added wx.combo.BitmapComboBox which is a combobox that displays a
+bitmap in front of the list items.
