That's the thing I hadn't noticed. Thanks for pointing it out--I've got

I think we have an answer: python.org does not, in general, have a lot 
of platform specific documentation, and we'd have to get the primary 
python folks to approve anything we want to put there. I think that 
makes pythonmac.org the best place for our new, improved, "Intro Page 
for Python on OS-X".

Mark, are you willing to coordinate the writing of a new page[s]?

I suggest we have a basic intro, and then perhaps a decision tree under 
the heading:

What version of Python should I use?

That decision tree would include things like: which version of OS-X are 
you running? Do you need python 2.4 features? Do you want to bundle apps 
for others to use? etc.

And, of course, we need a pointer to a FAQ in the Wiki.

I'd also suggest that we break the pythonmac.org/packages pages down 
into separate pages, one for each python version. I think that will make 
it much clearer to folks coming to it which set of packages they should 
look at.

Anyone else?

[Pythonmac-SIG] Best site to get Numeric and wxPython for new Tiger 10.4 install?

2006-01-11 Thread Louis Pecora 
I just upgraded to Tiger (archive and install) and need to reinstall 
some of the Python packages.  Googling shows many sites some of which 
are outdated, some ... who knows? 

What are the best sites to use to install Numeric and wxPython which 
will be used with the stock, Apple-installed Python?

Thanks.  I do this so infrequently that I never remember where the heck 
I got these things.

pythonmac.org/packages

Robin Dunn just released a brand-new wxPython:

http://www.wxpython.org/download.php

We'll probably put it on the pythonmac site at some point.

It's also time for an update to Numeric, but the one there works fine.

First, install Bob's TigerPython23Compat fix from here:

http://undefined.org/python/

Then, for wxPython, just go to the wxPython.org downloads page. The  
binary says it's for Panther, but it really should say "Panther and  
up". I'm not sure about the best way to get Numeric for 2.3, so I'll  
leave that question to someone else.

Thanks.  I also went to the wxPython site and got the Panther build.  
Also got TigerPython23Compat since it said that was necessary.  I am 
trying to find which Numeric from pythonmac.org/packages/ 
   I should use.

In theory, you want one in:
Mac OS X 10.4 (stock Python 2.3.5)

However, there isn't one there. The one in:

Mac OS X 10.3 (stock Python 2.3.0)

may work. If it doesn't then you are stuck with upgrading to Python2.4 
or building Numeric yourself, which should "just work" including Vectlib 
lapack support. If you do that, it would be great if you'd build a 
package and it can be put on that site.

Apparently most Tiger users are running Python 2.4

That worked (so far).  Thanks.

I also had to reinstall  kinds.py.  I had that package and ran the 
python setup.py install in the terminal.  Worked fine in Tiger 10.4.4.

Yeah, I've thought about going to 2.4, but I don't need more 
installation complications for now.  If I can hold off, I will.

well, it's easy to install 2.4, so if there is even one more ready-built 
package for it, then you're even, more than one, and you've saved time.

[Pythonmac-SIG] ANN: wxPython 2.6.2.1

2006-01-11 Thread Robin Dunn 
Announcing
--

The 2.6.2.1 release of wxPython is now available for download at
http://wxpython.org/download.php.  There have been many enhancements
and fixes implemented in this version, listed below and at
http://wxpython.org/recentchanges.php.


What is wxPython?
-

wxPython is a GUI toolkit for the Python programming language. It
allows Python programmers to create programs with a robust, highly
functional graphical user interface, simply and easily. It is
implemented as a Python extension module that wraps the GUI components
of the popular wxWidgets cross platform library, which is written in
C++.

wxPython is a cross-platform toolkit. This means that the same program
will usually run on multiple platforms without modifications.
Currently supported platforms are 32-bit Microsoft Windows, most Linux
or other Unix-like systems using GTK2, and Mac OS X 10.2+, in most
cases the native widgets are used on each platform.


Changes in 2.6.2.1
--

wxMSW: Fix for bug #1211907, popup menu indenting inconsistent with
bitmaps.

wxMac: Don't send an event for wx.RadioButton deselections, just the
selections.  This was done to make it consistent with the other
platforms.

wxMSW: Always set flat toolbar style, even under XP with themes: this
is necessary or separators aren't shown at all.

Fixes for bug #1217872, pydocview.DocService not correctly initialized.

Fix for bug #1217874, Error in parameter name in DocManager.CreateView.

Added wrappers for the wx.RendererNative class.

Added the wx.lib.splitter module, which contains the
MultiSplitterWindow class.  This class is much like the standard
wx.SplitterWindow class, except it allows more than one split, so it
can manage more than two child windows.

Docview and IDE patch from Morgan Hua with fix for bug #1217890
"Closing view crashes Python" plus some new features::

 New feature added to the IDE is 'Extensions'.  Under
 Tools|Options|Extensions, you can add calls to external programs.
 For example you can add a "Notepad" extension (under windows) that
 will exec Notepad on the currently open file.  A new "Notepad"
 menu item will appear under the Tools menu.

Some fixes to XRCed to make encoding errors a bit more user friendly.

XRCed changes from Roman Rolinsky:

 * Added new controls (Choicebook, Listbook, StatusBar,
   DatePicker), and completed style flags. Test window is opened
   for an available parent control if no specific view
   defined. Better handling of exceptions (highlighting does not
   'stick' anymore).

 * Use system clipboard for Copy/Paste.

 * Improved some dialogs (window styles, growable cols). Changed
   the range for wxSpinCtrl min/max to all integers (default 0/100
   is not always good).

Updates for wx.lib.foldpanelbar and wx.lib.hyperlink from Andrea
Gavana.

Fix for Bug #1283496: wxPython TheClipboard class causes problems for
pychecker.  Ensure the app has been created before initializing
wx.TheClipboard.

Fix for Bug #1352602: FileBrowseButtonWithHistory can't type in Value.

wxHTML: Added space after list item number.

wx.lib.printout:  Applied patch #1384440.

wxMSW:  Fix for Bug #1293225 Window_FromHWND crashes if parent is
None.

Fix for Bug #1261669, use a wx.TE_RICH2 style for the Process demo so
it doesn't fill up too soon.

Applied Patch #1354389: wxPython MenuItem SetBitmaps fix.

Applied Patch #1239456: wxPython wx.DataObject.GetAllFormats fix.

Applied Patch # #1230107 which allows image handlers to be written in
Python by deriving from wx.PyImageHandler.

Applied patch #1072210: generalize printout.py to allow text printing.

Applied patch #1243907: Give Throbber much more flexibility by
allowing the user to set the rest image, the direction, the current
index, custom sequence.  Allows user to manually step through the
sequence with Next(), Previous(), Increment(), Decrement() &
SetCurrent(). Very handy if you have multiple throbbers that you want
to synchronize with a single timer.

Fix for bug #1336711: wx.lib.calendar.CalenDlg can yield incorrect
result.

Applied patch from Morgan Hua for updates to ActiveGrid code
(pydocview, ActiveGrid IDE, etc.)

Applied patch #1326241: Supporting "setup.py install --install- 
headers=path"

Applied patch from Morgan Hua to fix bug #1219423: CommandManager
should not repeat old commands after a branch.

Applied patch #1238825 adding search backward capabilities to the
demo.  Modified to use the up/down options in the wx.FindReplaceDialog
instead of a separate menu item.

Fix for bug #1266745 and #1387725 in the wx.FindReplaceDialog on MSW.
Actually check we are using MSLU before doing the hack designed to
workaround a bug in MSLU!

wxMSW: wx.lib.iewin.IEHtmlWindow now properly handles tabbing, return
and other special keys properly.

Lots of PyCrust enhancments started by Franz Steinaeusler, Adi Sieker,
and Sebastian Haase, and which in turn were further enhanced, fixed
tweaked and

I strongly doubt that.  Python 2.3.5 is what comes with the stock
distribution; it should be supported.

It is supported, in that when I build a package or an egg I build it  
for both 2.4 and 2.3 -- but I never use Python 2.3, so those packages  
get no testing whatsoever.  For my own Python packages, I run the  
test suite with Python 2.3, but that's as far as it goes if it  
supports 2.3 at all.

I use Python 2.4 because it has fewer bugs, better performance, and a  
couple nice new features that people are starting to take advantage  
of.  New builtins like set and sorted, new modules like subprocess,  
additions to the operator module (attrgetter, itemgetter), generator  
expressions, decorators, etc.  I also need a non-vendor installation  
of Python anyway to build self-contained applications that will  
continue to work on future versions of Mac OS X, so installing an old  
version of Python would be pretty silly.
