wxPython development roadmap
Brendan Simon
I had a look on the wiki and couldn't see anything obvious :( Might be
a good idea to have something that is updated ~ weekly, monthly,
quarterly, so users can see what's coming up :)
Python 2.6.3 and wxWidgets 2.9.0 have recently been released -- are wxPy
developers working on releasing a wxPython 2.9.0 series ??
I'm assuming that python 3 support wont happen until wxWidgets 3 is
released -- is that correct or are people planning on to support
wxWidgets 2.9 with python 3 (as wxWidgets 2.9 is stepping stone from
wxWidgets 2 to 3) ??
Thanks -- Brendan.

Not that I know of. But most of the wxPython Development Roadmap
(excluding pure-Python widgets) derives from the wxWidgets one, so you
might look for the wxWidgets Development Roadmap.

I am pretty sure Robin will put together one or more 2.9 releases when
he thinks it's time and when he's got time to do so. As far as I
remember, there is aren't huge improvements or shiny new things in the
2.9 release compared to the one we are using now.

As far as I know, porting wxPython to Python 3.x has a very low
priority on Robin's schedule. I am not a "real" wxPython developer so
I can't comment on the difficulties arising in porting the wxWidgets
wrappers to Python 3.x, but I agree that it should be the lowest
possible priority on developers' schedule. Anyway, everyone would be
happy if someone comes up with patches/implementations supporting
Python 3.x.

<RobinD> The code for a 2.9.0 preview build is mostly done, but I have
to do some work on the build scripts. I may not do anything for Linux
other than provide the source tarball, because the future directions
that the debian/ubuntu package structure will take is still up in the
air. But I do plan on making binaries for Mac and Windows.
Looking forward to it.

Also Mr. dunn said the following on irc the other day:

tree in its grid, And the properties grid widget.
As well as that i think more of the existing widgits are based on data
models then before.
I'll be using 2.9 when ever wxPython supports it.

Just to clarify, the original wxCocoa port has been stalled for a few
years. The name of the new port is wxOSX-cocoa (and wxMac was renamed
to wxOSX-carbon) and is in a mostly functional state currently.

Yes, there are some things that work differently, but probably not as
much as you'd think, and at least some of them are bugs or just things
that need to be implemented differently for cocoa and will be resolved
over time.

There was some discussion about assigning a new maintainer, doing some
rearchitecting/restructuring of the packages, making them be wxGTK only,
etc. If/when that is done then wxPython will need to have its own
packages and all the work to implement that will need to be done.
