I’m starting an update of an old wxPython Mac app. I want to be ready to use the wxPy 4.1.2 release, so am happy to work with snapshots in the mean time. But which snapshot to use?
Python.org has a 3.10 series release (3.10.1) for Universal2 only.
The more mature 3.9 series has releases for Intel only and Universal1.
I assume Universal2 is the future and what I should go with.
However the wxpy snapshot directory only has one Universal2 release.
- wxPython-4.1.2a1.dev5259+d3bdb143-cp38-cp38-macosx_11_0_universal2.whl
This is for Python3.8, and the python.org only has builds for 3.8.10 (2 releases behind the latest 3.8.12 as it is now only in security release in source code only - no official builds).
There are snapshots for Python 3.9/3.10 but they seem to be for ARM only.
- wxPython-4.1.2a1.dev5259+d3bdb143-cp39-cp39-macosx_12_0_arm64.whl
- wxPython-4.1.2a1.dev5259+d3bdb143-cp310-cp310-macosx_12_0_arm64.whl
My preference is to go with 3.9 or 3.10 Universal.
Where are the wxPy snapshots for 3.9/3.10 universal?
What is the situation for macosx releases - present and future?
What should I be developing with and targeting to support relatively recent Intel and M1 systems?
Thanks, Brendan.
