···

=========================

PyPI: https://pypi.org/project/wxPython/4.0.5
Extras: https://extras.wxPython.org/wxPython4/extras/
Pip: ``pip install wxPython==4.0.5``

Changes in this release include the following:

* Added missing HtmlWindow.ScrollToAnchor method, and also a couple
   methods in HtmlCell too. (#1141)

   wx.MouseEvent. (#1140)

* Updated wxWidgets commit reference, bringing fixes for #1140, #1086
   and #1147.

   HtmlWindowInterface.OnHTMLOpeningURL. (#1068)

   wx.VisualAttributes object. Also set the attributes to be read-only
   to simplify the fix. (#1198).

Hi,

I just upgrade my installation using pip, after some missing packages I can compile and run this version. I just test the demo (https://extras.wxpython.org/wxPython4/extras/4.0.5/) and I get this error when I run:

mario@pc:~/Programas/wxPython-demo/demo$ python3 HTML2_WebView.py
Violación de segmento (`core’ generado)

any ideas? Im running Ubuntu 18.04, 64bits, Python 3.6.7 and wxPython 4.0.5

I might expect that if you were missing some dependencies when you built wxWidgets possibly. But in 4.0.5, wxPython should be able to handle the missing dependencies better. Can you run

coredumpctl gdb

and provide the results?

Hi Scott,

When I made the upgrade process using pip, I see some errors, all of them missing dev libs, so was easy to fix.

Here is the result:

mario@pc:~/Programas/wxPython-demo/demo$ coredumpctl gdb
No match found.

platform: win64
after pip install -U wxPython i got this:

Installing collected packages: scandir, pathlib2, MarkupSafe, Jinja2, colorama, babel, alabaster, snowballstemmer, packaging, sphinxcontrib-websupport, imagesize, sphinx, pkginfo, tqdm, requests-toolbelt, webencodings, bleach, readme-renderer, twine, appdirs, funcsigs, pluggy, attrs, py, atomicwrites, wcwidth, more-itertools, pytest, pytest-forked, apipkg, execnet, pytest-xdist, wheel, pytest-timeout, wxPython

Are all these packages really required?

No. I thought it might be a good idea to set the install_requires in setup.py from the contents of the requirements.txt file, but I didn’t think through the side effects far enough.

BTW, I’ve discovered a (probably) rare but fatal bug on OSX, so I’ll probably be doing a 4.0.6 build tonight and release tomorrow. I’ll include undoing the install_requires change.

I ran into this too when updating the Fedora package to 4.0.5. I was going to propose separating out the requires into test_requires and setup_requires, as most of these aren't actually needed as install_requires. I think mainly just six, pillow, and numpy?
