Hi,
I’d like to know if there is such a thing as a planned release date for wxPython-Phoenix as a PyPI package, so that everyone can install it using pip install wxpython-phoenix.
If there is not such a date, will there ever be one?
I wanted to use it for a hobby project, but compiling everything and then running into new problems doing so seems such a hassle, so I’d like to know, if I can simply wait it out, until everything runs smoothly ; )
You can already, only the command is a bit longer, see:

Well yes, I’ve seen that, but it only seems to work in a small number of cases and not on my OS.
I’ve already created a topic here and a question on Stackoverflow regarding the issue, so I was wondering if you plan to move it to the officiel package index on a specific date : )

I see, and it looks like Robin gave you some tips on how to resolve the issue. Whenever it is resolved it would be good to do a wiki page on how to install in a virtual env.
, so I was wondering if you plan to move it to the officiel package index on a specific date : )
Having an official release and/or moving the stuff to PyPi will not resolve the issue you have.

I am out of ideas regarding how to fix my pip install issue, so I’ll hope for better times. Also other people can’t be expected to compile wxPython-Phoenix themselves only to use my application, if that’s already a difficult problem for me, so I think I’ll simply wait it out.

I got that:), but my point still stands, don't expect the official release to fix that, if no one worked on it before.
Could you outline the steps you do to install in a virtenv, I will give it a try on my Linux Mint system when I get a moment.
I want to know if there are such plans.
My understanding was that it was always the goal of wxPython Phoenix to get to an official release and it should also replace the classic version at some point. Not sure if anyone has a good estimate when that will happen, the more people helping out on it and resolving issues the sooner it will be.

I distribute my application (currently only on Windows) using py2exe, so the user only installs my installer and it all works. Depending on your target user you might need to look into something similar.

You ask the same question again and again. Let Robin, Werner and others do their work. When wxPython-Phoenix is ready there will be a message.

@Egon: Yes, it’s because no one answered it, but I am giving up on getting an answer now (for the estimated release date question) : )
The stackoverflow question is still not really solved and this is the only channel I found, where I could get more information on the issue. If I can’t compile or install something, that is supposed to work out of the box, provided that the dependencies listed on the dev website are installed, should I simply toss it away and tell no one about it, including the devs? Well, then no one would ever notice the issue, except if someone else tells the devs. So I am actually helping the development process here, not slowing it.
Thanks for the py2exe suggestion, I’ll take a look at it when needed.
I didn’t know that py2exe fixes this sort of dependency stuff for distributing applications. I thought you’d still have to have the dependencies installed.
Do you close topics on here? Haven’t used Google Groups before, this was an exception. If so, I think this is closable now.
Regarding my SO question: If anyone has more ideas, I am still somewhat willing to try them and share the results, maybe even write a wiki page about it.

Can you let me know what steps you did to install wxPython in the virtualenv, when I get some time I will give it a try on my Linux Mint 17 box.

Yes, on your dev system you have to have all dependencies and then you use py2exe, or another freezer (pyinstaller, cxfreeze ...) to create a 'frozen' version of your application which you give to your end users. If you want to further improve on that you then use e.g. InnoSetup to bring it all together into a single installer which your end user can run and it installs the stuff for them.

No, you do not close a topic/thread here.

As mentioned above I will give it a go when I have some time, probably in about 2 weeks.
