I recently picked up wxPython In Action and installed
1) Python 2.5.1 and wxPython 2.8.3 on my mac osx 10.4.9 system
2) Python 2.4.4 and wxPython 2.6.3 on my linux fc6 machine.
In running through some examples from the source code in the wIA book
I found that the Grid examples in Chapter 14 did not work properly.
In particular, when scrolling the grid ( grid_table.py in chapter 14)
using the scrollbars I found that the row and column headers did not
scroll with the table!
I found that if I forced an update by resizing the window header would
be redrawn properly... It appears that the row/column headers are not
being properly updated when the scrollbars are used.
Using the "arrow" keys does cause the row/column heads to be properly
updated.

The examples *did* work on my linux box.
Is this a known problem?

Are you sending this again just because you didn't receive a reply in oh say...2-3 business hours depending on the timezone? :[
I was going to take time to look at this in the afternoon though I am probably less likely to now, unless I have just misunderstood the reason for your double post.

This could be a 2.6 vs. 2.8 issue, or a wxGTK vs. wxMac issue.
please post a small, complete app that demonstrates the problem, and we can check it out.

I thought that the original posting (my first on the list ) might have been overlooked due
to the non informational nature of the title...
That being said, I really don't give a rat's ass whether or not you "look at" a potentially severe
error in wxPython
Have a good day.

Please do not start flaming wars on this newsgroup, wxPython mailing
list has always been a quite place wrt all the others NG I know of,
and as far as I know, everyone here is willing to help as long as we
have a good description fof the problem (which it seems we have) and a
*__small runnable sample application that demonstrates the problem__*.
So, Jerry, I have tried the grid_table.py sample you mention, and I
don't see anything strange, on wxPython 2.8.3, Python 2.5, Windows XP.
I may be overlooked something, though.
Yes, I blew my cool, I know better, but It has been an extremely difficult, stressful
year and it is only going to get worse... And somebody put one straw too many
on my back.
Anyway, it is starting to sound like a Mac problem. As I pointed out the grid
examples (Chapter 14 in wIP) do work on my linux box, you point out that
it works win XP.
Hopefully someone with a Mac can chime in...
I am trying to decide if learning wxPython will enable me to give up tkInter.
Thanks for the info,
Jerry

At least this time he used a more meaningful and pertinent subject.

Maybe it's time for an holiday
I was just looking at some unusual place to relax, as far as possible
from everything I know, and I found something about the Cook Island,
that seem to be on the other side of the world wrt UK and Italy. It's
worth thinking about

tkInter.
Well, I believe that after few days trying wxPython, you will not even
remember how to *write* the word "tkinter" :-D. This was the case
for me
Seriously though, I see wxPython far superior to TkInter in whatever
respect, at least for my needs.

Yes that is true :). I guess not everyone has enough experience with this list to realize you will almost invariably figure out what the heck someone is asking about and provide a solution.
Or my favorite is when Andrea fixes peoples' matplotlib problems without them even saying they were using it, and he looks like a psychic :D.
Hahahahaha :-D, well, that particular problem hit so many times into
my face that I could probably recognize it even if I my eyes were
covered by a bendage
For the rest, be aware that my mind-reading capabilities have
improved, so pay attention when you think bad things about me, I can
hear you

It will. Does Tk even have a Grid Object?
wx is undoubtedly more buggy on the Mac than GTK or Windows, but it's still quite usable, and, as you've seen from Robin's reply, the support is very good.
All we really need are more Mac users testing and reporting bugs, so welcome!
(and TK is pretty marginal on OS-X, so you're used to it!)
