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 10.3+, in most
cases the native widgets are used on each platform.
Changes in 2.7.1.2
------------------
Fixed a bug in the MaskedEdit controls caused by conflicting IsEmpty
methods.
Patch #1579280: Some mimetype optimizations on unix-like systems.
wxMac: Several wx.webkit.WebKitCtrl enhancements/fixes, including:
- new methods for increasing/decreasing text size, getting
selection, getting/setting scroll position, printing, enabling
editing, and running JavaScripts on the page.
- added new event (wx.webkit.WebKitBeforeLoadEvent) for catching, and
possibly vetoing, load events before they occur.
- wx.webkit.WebKitCtrl now fires mouse events for certain events
that it was eating before. This improves wxSplitterWindow
resizing behavior.
- refactoring of the sizing logic to move the Cocoa view. Tested
with splitter windows, panels, notebooks and all position
correctly with this.
Some improvements to the drawing code in CustomTreeCtrl.
Fixed refcount leak in wx.Window.GetChildren.
