Now that I've sort of settled on the Wing IDE (well, it was the only GUI-debugging IDE I could get to work, and I've plunked down my $35), I'd like to run an automated designer too. I tried wxGlade but have had trouble getting it to do what I want. (I'll try again. Meanwhile:) I understand a lot of people like Boa Constructor for this. But I find that the most recent version won't work with wxPython 2.5. It wants me to downgrade to 2.4, but I'm reluctant to do that. I don't see that multiple versions of it would work in this case.
You could probably move things around to make it in to a multi-version setup similarly to how it is described on windows, but I havn't done it yet so that's why it's not documented in the wiki. On the other hand I'm not sure that it would be worth the effort as wxWidgets on the Mac was not nearly at the same level of features/funcitonality as the other ports in 2.4. It has greatly improved in 2.5
So questions: Is it worth pursuing, is Boa good? Should I install wxPython 2.4 and let it trash or obscure my 2.5?
If you want to try it, uninstall 2.5, then install 2.4.2.4 and move the package dirs so it can be found with wxversion, then install 2.5 again. Then you'll want to apply the patch to Boa that I sent here ealier.
Does Boa (like the WingIDE) want X11?
No. (Although it would if you build a wxGTK version of wxPython on the Mac... 
)
