wxPython3.* for Python3

moonkid · February 1, 2015, 11:16am

I checked the gmane-archive but couldn't find a fresh answer to it.

wxPython3 is out - great!
But does it support python3?

The howto-install-wiki-page tell only about python2.8.

Jojo_Maquiling · February 2, 2015, 3:35am

Nope.

http://wxpython.org/download.php#msw

You dont see python 3 in there… In fact python 2.8 is not included in downloadables.

We’ll just wait then :).

The wxPhython Phoenix version does support Python 3, but it is still in development.

There are a bunch of tar.gz files in there. For example, the very first item listed after the README: http://wxpython.org/Phoenix/snapshot-builds/wxPython_Phoenix-3.0.3.dev1540.b25595d.tar.gz

You can also install a *.whl file on any platform if you have the latest version of pip.

Dear Mike, please don't CC the mails you post to the list.

first item listed after the README:
http://wxpython.org/Phoenix/snapshot-builds/wxPython_Phoenix-3.0.3.dev1540.b25595d.tar.gz

Ah I see. The build-bot should think about the nameing conventions.

You can also install a *.whl file on any platform if you have the
latest version of pip.

Sorry, I don't understand this. There are whl-files for win and mac.
Why should they work on other plattforms? And If a whl would be
platform independent it would be enough to upload only one whl and not
for each platform.
I am quite new to Python and use apt-get to manage the packages - not
easy-install or pip. Maybe I misunderstand something.

The 'build-bot' is work in progress too:), i.e. I think the above is the first build based off the Phoenix git repo instead of the SVN, and something is not quit working yet. Robin just changed things over the last couple of days, so we just need to be patient until he gets things settled.

A whl is platform independent only if it is Python only code, as wxPython contains wxWidgets C++ there has to be a whl per platfrom.

pip will try to get the correct one for your Python version/OS platform, but if the latest build does not contain a match for your platform it fails, in which case you should use the instruction in the readme to get a specific version.

I am quite new to Python and use apt-get to manage the packages - not

No *nix user so take this with a grain of salt. To use 'apt-get' or similar wxPython-Phoenix would need to be in one of the supported repos, I don't think anyone stepped forward to do the necessary work.

I think if you use 'apt-get' to get pip and then use pip to install wxPython-Phoenix it does all the *nix build stuff for you - I am pretty sure that is what I did when I gave it a quick try on my Mint 17 install.

As Werner already pointed out, the Python 3 builds are here: http://wxpython.org/Phoenix/snapshot-builds/

Note that they are for the Phoenix version of wxPython only.

There is no such thing as Python 2.8 currently.

Where does pip get it from? Does the whl-file (an archive?) contain the
wxWidgets-C++ code, or does pip use a internet-source? In the last case
it could just get the *nix-code for wxWidgets and I see no problem.

How can pip help me if there is no *nix-whl file for it?

Doesn*t pip use a repository from somewhere?

the readme to get a specific version.

I couldn't find something in the readme-file about how to

wxPython-Phoenix it does all the *nix build stuff for you - I am
pretty sure that is what I did when I gave it a quick try on my Mint
17 install.

I tried it with pip and of course it failed.

[/bash]

I think I will wait some days and try to checkout again from the
trunk.

btw: Where can I find the current sources? On git or svn?

In short -- you can't. A wheel file is compiled, platform specific code.
(unless it's a pure python package, but that's not the issue here)

There are so many varieties of Linux out there that it is essentially
impossible to build a wheel for them.

You'll need to build from source -- grab the tarball for that.

Hi,

...

btw: Where can I find the current sources? On git or svn?

The master for wxWidgets is in SVN they are mirrored to git, wxPython-Phoenix is the first repo where the master is on git. I don't know what is the time table but the goal is that everything moves to git.

So, you can get it all from git:
See this commit for the repo's Robin uses for the buildbot:

I looked through my notes and when I had installed it in Mint 17 I did this:

dev essentials:
sudo apt-get install dpkg-dev build-essential python2.7-dev
sudo apt-get install libwebkitgtk-dev
sudo apt-get install libjpeg-dev libtiff-dev
sudo apt-get install libgtk2.0-dev
sudo apt-get install libsdl1.2-dev libgstreamer-plugins-base0.10-dev
sudo apt-get install freeglut3 freeglut3-dev

pip install -U --pre -f Index of /Phoenix/snapshot-builds wxPython_Phoenix

I can't remember, but I guess this gets the 'tar.gz' and then does the build.

Replace '2.7' with your Py3 version, for Phoenix at least 3.3, the other stuff is I believe not Python specific but C++ stuff.

Why not, Phoenix will at some point replace wxPython-classic and will be available for Py2.7+ and Py3.3+.

Moving an application from classic to Phoenix is easier to do on Py2.7 and then move to Py3 - at least in my experience/view:).

It should be very similar, except the python version.

Phoenix is new/different/better wrappers -- it is not just wxPython for py3.

If you want to maintain a code base for py2 and py3, you'd want
Phoenix for both.

I understood it as a "development branch" of wxPython to make it run
with Python3, too. Thats all.

Ok, but please keep in mind that I use pip3 for that. I cut out
something of the build-output here. And I have some questions about it,
of course.

First of all: How can I check fast and easy in a
python3-interactive-shell which version of wx/phoenix is running now?
Where does the builded lib-files go?

Sideinfo: I tried such a build on a different machine last night and
postet the output to the wxPython-dev list. There was the problem that
wxWidgets couldn't be build.
<http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.python.wxpython.devel/6288>
I don't understand why it works now?

Does it use wxWidgets2.8("wxWidgets compatibility should be enabled?
wxWidgets 2.8 yes") or wxWidgets3("Configured wxWidgets 3.0.3")? Both
of them are in this output.
