[wxPython] wxTextCtrl method PostionToXY

RE: [wxPython] wxTextCtrl method PostionToXY
I think it should raise an exception.

IMHO, as a general rule, exceptions should indicate a deviation from the expected behaviour. Unless ‘failure’ is a likely outcome, it should be an exception.

I have a bunch of code which uses the old (and documented) interface, so

changing it back would be better for me, especially since not all my

users will necessarily upgrade to the latest version of wxPython

Okay, that makes sense. I’ll change it to someting compatible with the old

way.

What did the old version return on failure? Returning None to indicate

failure would seem to make sense.

I think it probably took the easy way out and just ignored it. Any votes on

returning None vs. raising an exception?
