wxPython/help.py in 2.5?

Is wxPython/help.py going to be added back into 2.5 or has all the code
moved into wx/controls.py for good?

I need to update Riaan's STCStyleEditor.py so it will work with 2.5 and it
uses

  from wxPython.help import *

so I'm just trying to figure out a strategy to make the code work with 2.4.x
and 2.5.x. I'm sure there are other problems as well.

Riaan if you've already done an update let me know.

I had intended to take care of this before the last preview but it wasn't on my list do I forgot. (Riaan reminded me of it a couple days later and so it's already been done for the next preview.) I've added a wxPython.help module (and htmlhelp too) that imports the names from wxPython.wx so the help module namespace will look mostly like it did before. So there will be a wxPython.help for compatibility, but not a wx.help in the new namespace.

I made it 2.5 compatible, although the code still uses old style
wxPython code.

The importing of help is still in a try/except block, as Robin notes
this should no longer be a problem soon.

You may get it (1.12) from here:

Cheers,
Riaan.
