wxPython version that works with Python 2.3 on winxp
Hey folks,

Just need a version that works with python 2.3 2.4 is not an option at this time. 2.3 is the version of choice for an application I’m developing in called OpenEV, and python 2.3 ships with that.

I am deep into dependencies with the vb2py and pythonCard etc.

I just want to convert vb6 application to python with GUI.

Cheers

OpenEV is GTK anyway, so won't play well with wxPython.

Why not just install Python2.5 for your new work, OpenEV should be able to keep using 2.3

Also, for the record... I tried doing a 2.3 build of the last wxPython release, but since Python 2.3 more or less requires that MSVC 6.0 be used for runtime compatibility, and since MSVC 6 can't compile the GdiPlus headers from a recent Platform SDK without getting errors, I wasn't successful. It might be possible to make it work with mingw32, but I'm not sure it is worth the effort.

IIRC the problems I was having were more than what that code snippet would fix, but I'll give it another try. Thanks for the link.
