Is it really impossible for it to be trusted, or is it simply that nobody
wants to be responsible for maintaining it?
I would like to have a tree control that can "owner-draw" the nodes, and
would also like the ability to use a model, but I'm wondering if it would
be wiser to stay on the beaten path.

Is there a list of problems anywhere that I can look at to see if I can
either live with them in my app, or fix them for the good of humanity?
How do you duplicate the flickering issues, and how would someone go about
getting rid of them?
Are there better ways to accomplish the same things as the control does?
I am a very experienced C++ programmer, but I'm very new to Python and
wxPython. If I use it in my application, I don't mind taking care of it.
But I need to know what sort of time commitment it would be, and how
popular the control is. [Is it a good use of my time. I don't mind giving
my time away, but I have a very limited budget of late.]

Other than converting it to use the new namespace nobody has touched it
for years. IIRC there is some pretty bad flicker and other issues.
If somebody would take responsibility for modernizing it and taking care
of it in the future then I have no problem leaving the module in the lib.

No I'm just going from vague memories.

I just tried running it and there is no flicker. I guess double buffered drawing got added in there at some point.

Short of reimplenting it from scratch, probably not. There may be something eventually though. There has been some talk about adding a wxDataBrowserCtrl to wxWidgets that could be used like a treectrl and/or listctrl and would allow owner drawable nodes and use a replacable data model, etc. It's been discussed off an on for a while though and nothing has been done for it yet.

So, assuming I use it, how would I go about getting it "undeprecated", the
warning is kind of annoying. I realize I can modify my copy, but then
every time I upgrade I'd have to do it again.
I don't mind being responsible for it, I just don't know how, and whether
or not the task is currently beyond my abilities.

Maybe our computers are way faster now... But I was wondering about that,
because I didn't notice any flicker, I guess I'll find out...
The patches seem up to date from the little I looked at it.
