Hi,
Can someone point to a link where I might download 2.8 for OpenSUSE 10.2. I
currently have 2.6.3. BTW could someone explain the difference between
wxPython and wxGTK? It seems I have wxGTK 2.6.3 which is some how different
than wxPython???

I don't know of any SuSE packages, other then what they may already have in their repository. You could try getting the stock wxPython src.rpm and building it yourself.

wxGTK is the C++ wxWidgets library built using the code for the GTK port. wxPython can be built such that it either uses a separate wxGTK installation, or it can include its own set of wxGTK libraries.

thanks for the reply.
Just to be sure I understand:
SuSE 10.2 has a RPM for "python -wxGTK" which contains wxPython built with
wxGTK - right?
So when I build 2.8 I have to first download wxGTK 2.8, compile it and then
build wxPython to include wxGTK
"prefix=/opt/wx/2.8 --with-gtk"
Is this correct?
or is it that there is a way to build wxPython 2.8 that already has wxGTK
builtin? If there is - which do I want for my distro openSuSE 10.2?

Actually I found a rpm for wxGTK 2.8. But from what I can see in the rpm it
will replace lots of lib's. I wonder if this will cause any trouble with the
rest of the system? Is this why openSuSE has not update to wxpython 2.8? Or
am I just being a worrywart?

If you're building from the tarball then there is a snapshot of wxGTK included in the wxPython tarball, no need to track down and build it separately.
or is it that there is a way to build wxPython 2.8 that already has wxGTK builtin? If there is - which do I want for my distro openSuSE 10.2?
You could also try building from the source RPM wxPython - Browse Files at SourceForge.net

It could affect other libs/apps installed that use wxGTK, but 2.6 and 2.8 should be able to coexist. However if SuSE didn't take care in their RPMs then it could detect conflicts and would require replacing the old libs. You could try some rpm flags like --force or --no-deps to skip the dependency checking, but you'll want to double check what it does during the install.
If you build your own set of RPMs from the wxPython source RPM (or tarball) then there shouldn't be any conflicts with a system installed wxGTK.
