Try wxMozilla. You can find it at http://wxmozilla.sf.net

Robin, could you comment to this?

I installed the unicode version of wxPython 2.4, but found that wxMozilla
was looking for the non-unicode version of wxmsw24h.dll.

As the wxMozilla editor supports unicode in its files (I installed
non-unicode wxPython 2.4 and put some unicode values into an edited file)
and our app is unicode, are there any special build instructions for
getting it to work with unicode wxPython 2.4?

It is possible to get wxMozilla working with Unicode on MSW wxPython 2.4, but it's a rather complex setup. It basically consists of getting a wxPython source tree + the wxPythonDev package and installing the dev package into the source tree to setup your build environment. Then you need to patch wxPython's setup.py to add a section for building wxMozilla, and let it know where it can find your Mozilla includes and sources. With wxMozilla CVS HEAD and wxPython 2.5.2.7, things are much easier so you may want to consider that route if at all possible. Otherwise, if you're really interested in a Unicode build for 2.4, I'll see if I can make some time for it probably next week or so.

Thanks,

Kevin

Kevin,

Could you share your procedure for building wxMozilla (from CVS) with
wxPython 2.5.2? I tinkered around with it for a while but was unable to
get it to work.

Regards,
Cliff

Kevin, thanks for your response.

That is our preferred route. We had only considered 2.4 because of the
lack of releases for 2.5.

Otherwise, if you're really interested in a Unicode build for 2.4, I'll

No thanks! Much better to spend your time giving full instructions on how
to build wxMozilla CVS head with latest wxPython for Unicode.
