wxpython 2.9.4.0 binaries on PPA - does it exist ?

Is a ppa for ubuntu available to install the wxpython devel
binaries ? I remember there was one a long time ago but i can’t find
it anymore…

thank you very much in advance

Regards, Arturo

Not for 2.9. The 2.8 packages are in the repo at apt.wxwidgets.org, but nobody has been maintaining the debian scripts for 2.9 because the official package maintainers said that they would be taking it over.

I'll probably put something together for Phoenix one of these days though, probably with a private copy of the wx shared libraries so it won't conflict with the official packages. (And so I can make sure the runtime assertions support is turned on.)

ok, thank you. In the meanwhile i built from source the 2.9.4.0 tarball. I did the following steps after applying the 2.9.4.1 patch as you advised on the google group :

$ cd wxpython
$ ./build-wxpython
$ ./build-wxpython --install

the latest input installs all the libraries in the default 'local' paths :

/usr/local/include ; /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages

after that :

$ sudo ldconfig

finally i set the wx version in my source python file with these lines of code :

import wxversion
wxversion.select('2.9')
import wx

it seemed to work fine. Was I wrong or not ? To uninstall the libraries, can i simply delete the installation directories of the libraries and then from shell again run the command :

sudo ldconfig

is this the right way ?
