New Software

wxPython Users
1

Hi All,

I was out for a long time doing websites, but now I need to create a bigger piece of desktop software, so I want to know your opinions:

  1. Can I start this project using python2.x or python3.x? Im using Ubuntu 16 LTE and here is installed by default 2.7,
  2. wxPython: wich version is better for a new software?
  3. I like to use wxformbuilder for design the GUIs, is it still working with Phoenix? I cant found any info about that in his website.
    Thanks in advance!

Saludos,

For any new project it is always recommended to use Python 3 but with a
little effort it is possible to make most projects python 3.3+ & 2.7
compatible.

Without a doubt you should use wxPython 4 (Phoenix) for new projects but
again it is not impossible to maintain backwards compatibility. The vast
majority of the breaking changes in wxPython are tightening up of
checking that results in things that you could usually or sometimes get
away with in the earlier versions giving an error.

If you look at Python 3/Phoenix · Issue #275 · wxFormBuilder/wxFormBuilder · GitHub
you will see details of the changes made to wxFormBuilder for Phoenix
compatibility.

All the best on the new project.

Steve

Hi Steve,

thanks for your answer and comments! My main idea is try to use the by default installations in client side. So just connect to repos and donwload/install the correct packages and run my software.

My other option is create an EXE or all in one package for others OS (anyone use this: https://flatpak.org/ ?) So PyInstaller support Phoenix too? or is there other packager tool?

Im reading all the docs availables for Phoenix now… thanks for the link of wxformbuilder!

thanks for your answer and comments! My main idea is try to use the by
default installations in client side. So just connect to repos and
donwload/install the correct packages and run my software.

this linux distros tend to be pretty far behind with pyton and wxPython
versions, so that's going to be a challenge (though maybe when wxPython4 is
"official" there's some hope.

My other option is create an EXE or all in one package for others OS
(anyone use this: https://flatpak.org/ ?) So PyInstaller support
Phoenix too?

it does for Windows and OS-X at least -- so I think yes.

For any new project it is always recommended to use Python 3 but with a

little effort it is possible to make most projects python 3.3+ & 2.7
compatible.

I wouldn't bother at this point for a top-level project.

Thanks Chris,

So I think use Python 3 + Phoenix is the best option. In 2020 Python 2 will reach his EOL so for this project I’ll need to said good bye to my best friend…
