----------

The 2.8.9.1 release of wxPython is now available for download at
http://wxpython.org/download.php. This release adds a quick fix for a
compatibility problem with Python 2.4.

Source code is available, as well as binaries for Python 2.3, 2.4 and
2.5, for Windows and Mac, as well some packages for various Linux
distributions. A summary of changes is listed below and also 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 and 64-bit Microsoft Windows,
most Linux or other Unix-like systems using GTK2, and Mac OS X 10.4+.
In most cases the native widgets are used on each platform to provide
a 100% native look and feel for the application.

Hello,

The wx.TE_CENTER flag for the wxTextCtrl seems to have gotten broken. In 2.8.8.1 text was aligned in the center but in 2.8.9.1 it is now left aligned, can anyone else confirm? (wxMac 2.8.9.1, python 2.5.2)

text_align.py (643 Bytes)

Hello

The official Ubuntu packages are always behind. If you notice, they
don't even have 2.8.8.0 up their yet. However, Robin maintains his
own apt repositories that have the latest version. See the page at
InstallingOnUbuntuOrDebian - wxPyWiki for more info on
how to configure apt for these.

My guess is that the version of wxWidgets being used is 2.8.8 or earlier. Did you build and install the wxWidgets in the 2.8.9.1 tarball? If so, what was the install prefix? If it's not /usr then you need to make sure you tell wxPython's build to use the wx-config from the other install prefix.
