We could collaborate in this process ?
I have done some work on that (using Python 3.4, note there is no build yet for 3.5), but lately there has been no progress as some problems need to be resolved in wxPython Phoenix (i.e. Robin Dunn). IIRC the biggest issue has to do with the wx.grid.

The repo see the branch "phoenix-2ndtry" here:
https://github.com/dabodev/dabo/tree/phoenix-2ndtry

Check out the messages on dabo-dev with a subject containing "phoenix" and the same on wxPython-dev, sorry there is no condensed list of things outstanding.

In the code there are some "TODO: Phoenix" remarks, but I don't guarantee that I noted it all(:

Robin hasn't done a lot lately, at least no public commits, but I understand that he is working on things.

Regards
Werner

Carlos there is a version supporting Python 3.x (check out git) using python 2.x. But without Phoenix being in some sort of stable (even if it has bugs) condition I doubt Dabo can move forward. Believe me I want it too. We have been waiting a long time for Phoenix to be delivered.

That said, the latest version (I call it Dabo2) has been stable for me. Dabo2 is not really ready for Phoenix and python 3.x but I have been able to run small apps using python 3.4 (thanks to Werner's code). Of course it requires making changes to the base code but it can be done.

The big thing about Dabo is the interface it has with data. The simple way it allows you to work with databases and the user interaction with that data. Once we get Phoenix I'm sure Dabo will move forward to python 3.x because I know others would like to use it.

BTW Werner's short comment about the wx.Grid being a problem is NOT a simple one to fix and it is compounded by the fact Phoenix is not stable.

That said, yes we are willing to help and if you could look at the code and help - all would be grateful.
