wx.aui missing from Phoenix

Where would I find this now, I couldn't find any reference to it in the migration guide, have I missed something?

My fellow Pythonistas, ask not what our language can do for you, ask what you can do for our language.

No, it hasn't been wrapped yet. I'm debating doing it though since the C++ code still isn't being maintained, although it does seem to be getting a little more attention recently, and most Python people prefer the AGW version of AUI.

There are also a couple other extension modules still on the Phoenix TODO list. wx.richtext needs to be finished up (including unittests and demos), wx.media needs added, I think I'll add a wx.msw module for some Windows-only classes, and I need to decide if wx.propgrid will be included. (Again there is some stagnation on the C++ side of the house there, but there isn't a Python implementation to fall back on for this one.)

I love the property grid. Hope it finds it’s way in.

That is the biggest complaint I hear from other people.
Basically there is a ass-load of fixs submitted and whoever is in control on the C++ side doesn’t have much motivation or it just isn’t being “maintained” anymore.
Most of these complainer have since moved onto QT, which isn’t a good thing in regards to wx in general.
Now I hear them complain about what features QT doesn’t support that AUI had.
Geez… winers.

As far as AUI I believe it should stay on the list to port. I personally use AGW solely for the extra features and bug fixes “support”(maintained).
Otherwise I would use AUI for the speed/performance benefits.

As far as property grid… What ever happened to Cody’s GUI builder project he had some basic info/previews about.???
I have some code starting a similar to wxFormBuilder project written in wxPython for wxPython.
So yes, I see the PropertyGrid module necessary if you ever want to see someone make a GUI builder similar to what QT has right out of the box eventually.
Maybe someone will also make a python port similar to Andreas AGW AUI someday. Who knows.

Also, separating the Operating specific stuff into their own named modules is a good start.
I try to do a similar approach for my projects. Ex: MSWindowsModule, MacModule, LinuxModule.
