pre 3.0 demo?

Che_M · June 5, 2014, 7:01pm

Not a big deal at all, but I noticed on the wxPython page that the Demo is only for wxPython 3.0.0.0. I can understand not actively supporting previous versions of “classic” (2.8 through 2.9), but could we have the older versions of the Demo on that page? (If all the work required is just to have it there?).

Gadget_Steve · June 6, 2014, 5:37am

If you need older versions of wxPython and/or the Docs & Demo
package you can simply go to
and pick
your version(s). Maybe it would be worth having a link called
“Older Downloads” on the downloads page.

I need to disagree, I'm, using Ubuntu 14.04 (the latest one) and here the stable version is 2.8.12.1 (and the only one to be installed from repos) so for me (and others users too) its not the "old" version and I think the docs and files need to be in the wxpython website.

And if you can see the Download section, there are not any update for Ubuntu packages since v 11.04 thats 2 years ago and after the announce from Python about version 2.7 will be supported until 2020 I think the docs and files for 2.8.12.1 need to be there.

I have many systems in Python 2.7 and I cant ported yet to Python 3 because wxPython 3 is still in development phase and I want an easy installation process for my end users (no compilations troubles) . Another reason: Im not in hurry actually because my systems dont need any of the new things in Python 3, not yet.

IIRC Robin has mentioned/asked multiple times in the past to find a
maintainer for the Ubuntu and possible or Linux distro’s as he does
not have the time to do them. I don’t use Linux regularly so have
no idea what is involved but you might want to ask around on Ubuntu
specific sites if no one would like to step forward to do this -
especially in view of 3.0.x classic and Phoenix.
Is the install using pip any easier on Linux then it was in the
past?

Hello Werner,

I know but I cant help for create DEB packages for Debian/Ubuntu because I never do that before. My systems are distributed like source code or simple tar.gz (in win like an EXE)

In Linux install packages in the way wxPython 3 need to be done right now can create some problems for user with little experience and about PIP installation wxPython 3 is not listed there so theres not easy way to install it, I need to create a Virtuelenv, compile, etc etc tasks cant be done for a simple user, he only want to run my software with minimum installations problems.

wx 3.0 doesn’t require Python 3+… I’m using (reasonably) happily on Python 2.7.5.1… I didn’t use PIP to install it either, just download the windows installer, install to a custom directory, then copy the wx directory it created/extracted to my Python site-packages (well actually I’ve got a custom library directory for this project, and have included wx there because I’ve made some changes to certain widgets)

Mario (the OP) is on Linux (Debian/Ubuntu) and there is no
installer/package for wx 3.0 for that platform, so I wondered if the
wxPython Phoenix 3.x installation with ‘pip’ would be easier then a
normal installation from source with compile etc etc.

I found that there is an Intent To Package, (ITP), for wxPython 3.0

closure regarding some possible copyright issues on some files in

Hope that helps.

Hi Maria,

If I'm not wrong there's no pip installer for wxpython and yes a pip install is very easy but only if the package can't be founded in the Ubuntu (or any distro)official repos.

wxPython Phoenix creates 'wheels' (http://pythonwheels.com/) and the snapshots are here:
Index of /Phoenix/snapshot-builds

They can be installed with this 'pip' command on Windows with e.g. Py 33 (there are also Py27 and Py34 versions):

C:\Python33\Scripts>pip install -U --pre -f Index of /Phoenix/snapshot-builds wxPython_Phoenix

I don't know if it will work out of the box on Linux.

Werner what's mean OP? In your previous answer....

I see that Steve answered that one.
