Out of Touch

I guess I have drifted out of touch.

I'm still running Python 2.7.5. I was thinking it's about time to move
on to Python 3, and the holidays are a good time to do that. I was
gathering up all the tools I need to make my comfortable Python
environment, like PyWin32, wxPython, numpy, ReportLab, etc.. There, I
ran into trouble.

It looks like the non-Phoenix wxPython is only available for Python 2.6
and 2.7. Is that right? If I want Python 3.4, I need to go Phoenix?
Is there any reason not to go to Phoenix now?

Tim,

Take a look at http://wxpython.org/Phoenix/docs/html/classic_vs_phoenix.html and if you are using any of the functionality marked as MISSING then you will have found your reason.

If not then I would say go for it.

Yes, classic will not support Py 3+.

Is there any reason not to go to Phoenix now?

There are quit a few PR's not yet applied which fix issues in wx.lib modules related to Py3, see:
https://github.com/RobinD42/Phoenix/pulls

I still had issues with the grid in Phoenix, especially when I tried to get the Dabo ReportWriter to work.
