The version of Editra that is bundled with wxPython in the “tools” subdirectory doesn’t work on Windows. When I run it, pythonw.exe is launched, but no window appears, and the process quits after a few seconds.
This seems like a serious bug. I would expect that the version of Editra bundled with wxPython should have the exact same contents as the source code tarball downloadable from Editra’s website, which does work.

What error are you getting? When I try to run
python.exe ~/version\ controlled/ThirdParty/lib/wx-3.0.1-msw-classic/wx/tools/Editra/launcher.py
I get:

wxversion.ensureMinimal('2.8')

I’ve previously had problems with wxVersion, but in this case it was using an unmodified copy of wxversion.py… when I replaced it with my custom version (which was on a different path, and thus not being found in the default site-packages module search path) I got past that error, but then got hit with:

ImportError: No module named dexml
I found dexml on PyPi, but from their example it doesn’t look like the module is in a package called extern… so I’m not sure what is going on there.
Now checking the directory it failed in 'wx\tools\Editra\src' I see an ‘extern’ directory, but it doesn’t show dexml:

init.py aui decorlib.pyc embeddedimage.pyc ez_setup.py pkg_resources.py pubsub.pyc stcprint.py stcspellcheck.py vertedit.py
Very strange, but honestly, I don’t even know what Editra is/does or why it is in the wxPython library files (since I’ve never seen it mentioned in tutorials or the docs).

Editra “is a multi-platform text editor with an implementation that focuses on creating an easy to use interface and features that aid in code development.” - http://editra.org/
It is written using wxPython and I believe it was added as a fully functional program for people to learn from.

I believe the plan is to not include it any more and you should get
the latest version from the editra site.

Editra " is a multi-platform text editor withan implementation that focuses on creating an easy to use
interface and features that aid in code development." -
It is written using wxPython and I believe it was added as a
fully functional program for people to learn from.
I believe the plan is to no longer bundle Editra in wxPython - so you should always get it from its site.

I get the exact same error as the second one that Nathan posted.
From what werner said, why is Editra still bundled with wxPython, since the included version is not functional?

dexml · PyPI
The extern package is part of Editra's source code and there is a copy of dexml (and others) there, but it looks like the master package list in wxPython/setup.py didn't get updated to include it. I'll fix that up.
