Howdy! Just came across gui2py as a result of this thread: http://www.reddit.com/r/Python/comments/27dyx0/high_level_gui_library/

I was looking at the main page under "Compatibility" and saw this line:

  • Python 2.7.2 - wxPython 2.9.4.1 (classic) - Ubuntu 12.04 LTS and 12.10 (gtk2 32/64 bits)
I was wondering how they get wxPython 2.9. The only version I can see available in 12.04 is 2.8.

Has anyone tested in Ubuntu 14.04 yet?

As an aside, this isn't entirely accurate:
  • Python 2.7.4 - wxPython 2.9.5.81 (phoenix) - Ubuntu 13.04 LTS (gtk3 including broadway! 32/64 bits)
  • Python 2.7.4 - wxPython 3.0.0 (classic) - Ubuntu 13.04 LTS (gtk2 3.0.0.0.b20131219 preview release) new!
  • Python 2.7.4 - wxPython 3.0.0 (phoenix) - Ubuntu 13.04 LTS (gtk2 r 75400 build with some deprecation warnings) new!
13.04 is not an LTS release.

I look forward to trying gui2py out!

You have to compile it yourself, it is quite easy and you can do the following steps I've documented in the wx wiki:

Yes, I'm using Ubuntu 14.04 for development, but sadly it is bit unstable.
12.04 / 13.10 seemed more polished.
Maybe on 14.04.1 it will be more smooth.

Fixed, thanks, btw, it also said "Windos" :-)
Added 14.04 too

Great, and thanks for testing it!
It is under heavy development right now, I'm trying to finish it for my master thesis, so I hope it is near to become beta

Well, I didn't noticed that Ubuntu 14.04 is now shipping a precompiled official package for wxWidgets 3.0!


libwxbase3.0-0 - wxBase library (runtime) - non-GUI support classes of wxWidgets toolkit
libwxbase3.0-dev - wxBase library (development) - non-GUI support classes of wxWidgets toolkit
libwxbase3.0-0-dbg - debugging symbols for the wxBase library
libwxgtk-media3.0-0 - wxWidgets Cross-platform C++ GUI toolkit (GTK+ media library runtime)
libwxgtk-media3.0-0-dbg - debugging symbols for the wxGTK media library
libwxgtk-media3.0-dev - wxWidgets Cross-platform C++ GUI toolkit (GTK+ media library development)
libwxgtk3.0-0 - wxWidgets Cross-platform C++ GUI toolkit (GTK+ runtime)
libwxgtk3.0-0-dbg - debugging symbols for the wxGTK GUI toolkit library
libwxgtk3.0-dev - wxWidgets Cross-platform C++ GUI toolkit (GTK+ development)
wx3.0-examples - wxWidgets Cross-platform C++ GUI toolkit (examples)
wx3.0-headers - wxWidgets Cross-platform C++ GUI toolkit (header files)
wx3.0-i18n - wxWidgets Cross-platform C++ GUI toolkit (i18n support)

wxPython 3.0 is not listed but you could compile and install on Ubuntu 14.04 following this steps:

1. Install the wxWidgets  3.0 ubuntu development package:

sudo apt-get install libwxgtk3.0-dev

2. Download the wxPython 3.0 classic sources:

tar xvjf wxPython-src-3.0.0.0.tar.bz2
cd wxPython-src-3.0.0.0

3. Run the setup.py script to build 

cd wxPython/
python setup.py build

4. Make the ubuntu .deb package and install with checkinstall: 

sudo checkinstall -y --pkgname=wxpython --pkgversion=3.0.0 --pkgrelease=1 --pkglicense=wxWidgets --pkgsource=http://www.wxpython.org/ --maintainer=rein...@gmail.com --requires=python-wxversion,python2.7,python -D  python setup.py install

(all the commands should be in one line)

It should run and seems to be more stable.
If you can test it with gui2py and send your feedback, that would be great,

That is odd they ship wxWindows 3.0, but not wxPython 3.0. Odd.
