A while back there was some talk on the dev list about a pure python blitting method. I believe 2.8 had features that made this possible. I don't think anyone actually implemented this though. I'll have to check if the current native wx code even compiles with 2.8. The pure-python wx interface is still there and works but doesn't allow for efficient blitting. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
