[resent, I used the wrong sender address] Hi Ryan,
Your ramblings are *much* appreciated. For one thing, it did took my frustration away. I had been writing the following e-mail, but some serious timing consuming got in the way (I just became dad). I was planning to use wxPython for some hobby projects, but those are now also on hold for a while. I fully agree that in this particular case, it is very odd that a stable release of wxWidgets 2.9 is out since September, while there is no release of wxPython that works for that version. I did ask on the wxPython list, but got no response yet. So it is obvious that there is no stable 64-bit wxPython. It seems to me that there are three options here: * keep the stable versions of wxWidgets and wxPython at 2.8, so that Leopard (10.5) users can enjoy both, and Snow Leopard users can't use wxPython. * update the stable version of wxWidgets to 2.9, meaning that there can not be a stable wxPython (only a SVN-based wxPython). * retain wxWidgets and wxPython at 2.8, and make a wxWidgets-devel for 2.9 and a wxPython-devel for the wxPython SVN version. I presume that the last solution is the best, even though that is slightly confusing (at least to me: to me wxWidgets 2.9 *is* stable as it is released). As an upgrade path to Snow Leopard users, I wonder if it is possible to change the wxPython to display a warning saying it will not work, with a note to use wxPython-devel. For this to work, the existing wxPython ports need to be tested. As Jyrki said, the change from carbon to cocoa might in fact be just as big a change! I planned to submit a portfile for a wxPython-devel above (I did compile wxPython with cocoa using a subversion revision), but a quick test did still indicate not all was 64-bit. I was not able to check if that is caused by wxWidget, wxPython, or some old hand-installed version -- it is at least clear that you guys are indeed much more experienced in creating portfile than I am (thanks!)
