[matplotlib-devel] Selecting WX2.8 in examples
Hello,
we are facing a problem in Debian where a user has problems running
embedding_in_wx*.py examples.
The problem is:
>>> from wx import *
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "", line 1, in
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute '__DocFilter'
>>> import wx
>>> print wx.__version__
2.6.3.2
Since WX2.8 is the one to use, the solution is simple:
>>> import wxversion
>>> wxversion.select('2.8')
>>> from wx import *
>>> wx.__version__
'2.8.7.1'
That solves the problem of multi-wx on a system.
What do you think about adding those 2 line into wx examples?
Regards,

Moreover, I will provide a patch to move from
>>> from wx import *
to
>>> import wx
that's much more clear. Just let me know if in the patch I will add
the wxversion.select or no.

Sounds good to me, but I am not a wx user, so I might be missing
something. The only reservation that occurs to me is this: suppose
version 2.10 comes out, and someone has only that installed. Is there a
way to select 2.8 or higher, instead of requiring 2.8?

AFAIUI, it's not possible to say "2.8+" == "2.8 and all the higher
versions", but we can specify a list of version to be searched, the
first match is the one "mapped" as default wx. If no-one of the
specified version are available, then an exception is thrown:
>>> import wxversion
>>> wxversion.select(['2.5','2.3','2.9'])
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "", line 1, in
File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/wxversion.py", line 149, in select
raise VersionError("Requested version of wxPython not found")
wxversion.VersionError: Requested version of wxPython not found
>>> wxversion.select(['2.5','2.3','2.8'])
>>> import wx
>>> wx.__version__
'2.8.7.1'
In any case, the example code doesn't work with wx2.6 so, as even a
temporary workaround, I think we should enforce the needs for wx2.8.
Cheers,
