This looks great and I have been wanting to try wxGRASS for some time
now, however on my Gentoo linux system I have actually never been able
to get wxPython to run.
Maybe someone could help me clarify some issues.
1. I don't understand the relation between wxWindows, wxWidgets and
wxPython. The wxWidgets site claims to have GUI libs with python
support. If I install them, I get libs, header files and a config
script called wx-config. That's OK. But why does the wxPython distro
install those same files again? It also comes with a config script
called wx-config and installs headers and include files in the same
location as wxWidgets, even with the same names and same version
numbers. I am confused ...
2. The build and install instructions for wxPythons are a mess.
From those two documents, I just can't seem to figure out how to
make a global build and install from source. I manage to compile
and install the C API part (btw.: is this the same that comes with
wxWidgets?) alright, but runnning
python setup.py install
just gives me:
wx/setup.h: No such file or directory
and a load of other error messages complaining about missing header
files in wx/.
Even though I did a "make install" and manually copied header files to
system-wide location /usr/incluce/wx/
Anyone got some experience installing wxPython from scratch on a Linux
system?
Thanks,
Benjamin

I just committed the finishing touches to the wxPython GUI intro screen
and location wizard.
The intro screen gives the same functions as the TclTk one (GRASS
database, location, and mapset selection) and mapset creation, plus a
new location wizard that Jachym and I've done, and options to rename or
delete locations and mapsets.
The location wizard is a nice GUI (with a great graphic from Jachym)
that walks you through location creation by any of the following
methods: espg code, georeferenced file, datum selection,
projection/ellipse selection, custom PROJ4 string entry, or XY location
creation. After a location is created, you have the option of
setting/resetting the default region extents and resolution.
This is all done within a wxPython GUI that runs native on all major
platforms.
----------------
The new wxPython GUI for GRASS is currently under development and
nearing completion. It can be downloaded from
<https://grasssvn.itc.it/grasssvn/grassaddons/trunk/grassaddons/gui/#_trunk_grassaddons_gui_>
It requires Python 2.4 or above and wxPython 2.8 or above.

Give it a spin.
