[wxPython] wxPython for Python 2.2 when?

Hi,
I just got into Python when I tried to make a message board of my own
using CGI. After about 4 days from when I started reading Python
tutorials (I spent a couple of hours each day) it was fully functional,
even tho it had almost zero features.
I was impressed.

And I'm not an advanced programmer in any way..

Anyway, today I tried to find some way of using Python to draw graphics on
the screen somehow and after a while I found wxPython which seems very
nice judging by what people seem to think of it :slight_smile:

However I wasn't exactly thrilled when I couldn't find a version
compatible with Python 2.2 (the latest version from python.org)...

I suppose it is being compatibalized (ehehe.. dont tell me that's
actually a word :slight_smile: ) to 2.2. Is it worth the wait or should I download
Python 2.1 instead?

Oh, and if you wanna take a look at the message board go here

If the code interests you just ask for it :slight_smile: Its nothing spectacualr tho I
can assure you :slight_smile:

It's still beta and will be for 4 to 6 weeks.

I had hoped to have a Python 2.2 version built for the next wxPython
snapshot, but I've been having some problems with it so I don't think it's
gonna be ready this time around. If I were in your shoes would get Python
2.1.1 and use a wxPython 2.3.2 beta.

Well, 2.3.1 (wxGTK/wxPython) compiled quite fine against python 2.2b1. Only
thing I seem to need here is a python compiled with LINKCC=c++. (SuSE
7.3/i386)

Hi, I'm trying to get kbhit() to work but I haven't succeeded yet.

The loop is very simple

import msvcrt

def l():
    x = 0
    while (msvcrt.kbhit() == 0):
  x=0
  while (x<100000):
    x=x+1 #delay
  print "waiting... ",
    print "Done!"

what I'm trying to do is to simply jump out of the loop when I press a
button.

Also, what do I do to "catch" that keypress, to store its value? getch()
right?
how would I use that?

Thanks,

The problems I have been dealing with are with the win32 version and some
parts of the code getting compiled incorrectly. I have figured out the
cause, but not yet where to put the blame. :wink:

Since kbhit and getch have nothing to do with wxPython, and nothing to do
with any GUI for that matter, perhaps you should ask somewhere else.

See my messages to python-dev:
http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/2001-November/date.html

Python 2.2b2 has introduced what I consider a bug to Python.h that affects
building wxPython with a debug or hybrid version of wxWindows (they just
coredump) and also there is an incompatible API change that breaks a
critical 3 line bit of code in wxPython for reflecting virtual methods to
Python callbacks. (For example try running the wxGrid demos that have a
custom table.)
