I don't know what you were trying to say here, but as you have

stated it that statement is just silly. WxPython, Qt, and TkInter
are all alive and well, as well as a plethora of smaller and more
specialized toolkits.

I agree with the sentiment that it would be better to release Phoenix for

both Python 2 and 3 soon, even if there are known missing or crippled

features compared to Classic. With only snapshot builds available, I think

that Phoenix is used much less than it could be.

I’m not sure why people are so scared of the snapshot builds. :slight_smile: They are generally working pretty well, from my experience.

The snapshots seem to work OK for me too. But they’re not a release. Honestly, they’re even sort of hard to find assuming that one knows the Phoenix wiki page exists and actually reads it.

I do see several Issues and PRs on the github site, but I assume these

aren’t the main problems standing in the way of release. It would be nice

to see a more strategic and complete to-do list for release, if only to

understand what needs the most work. Does such a list exist?

Well there is this:

https://github.com/wxWidgets/Phoenix/blob/master/TODO.txt

OK, thanks! That’s helpful.

Please everybody ignore this poster. He’s been banned from the main Python mailing list, where he is jokingly known as the RUE, the Resident Unicode Expert, as it is blatantly obvious that he hasn’t got a clue what he’s talking about.

Kindest regards.

Mark Lawrence.

It's good to hear from you Robin. I think we all appreciate how busy you
are. Like you, I've been involved in other things and have not had much
time to follow the different wxPython-xxxx groups very closely recently,
but in the last few weeks I have been converting my own (commercial)
wxPython software to Python 3.4 & Phoenix. It has all gone pretty well
and I have only a handful of issues to raise - some fairly trivial but
one or two show stoppers - like the classes based on
wx.lib.activex.ActiveXCtrl.

I don't know the best place to report these. Maybe there should be a new
group called *wxPython-phoenix* specifically for raising, discussing and
generally keeping in touch - perhaps at the expense of wxPython-mac
which has only received about six messages this year.

You can use the Phoenix project at Github, GitHub - wxWidgets/Phoenix: wxPython's Project Phoenix. A new implementation of wxPython, better, stronger, faster than he was before., for issues and patches (PRs). It's easier for me to use github than wxTrac because there is a lot of noise and spam happening there, and it's too easy for things to fall through the cracks.

For general discussion of Phoenix development I think the wxPython-dev mail list is fine.
