wxPython is a GUI toolkit for the Python programming language.
|
|
It allows Python programmers to create programs with a robust,
|
|
highly functional graphical user interface simply and easily. It is
|
|
implemented as a Python extension module (native code) that wraps the
|
|
popular wxWidgets cross platform GUI library which is written in C++.
|
|
|
|
If you want support for gnomeprint pass GNOMEPRINT=yes to the
|
|
script. This will require libgnomeprint and libgnomeprintui, both
|
|
available from SlackBuilds.org.
|
|
|
|
Another optional dependency is libmspack, which is used by the CHM help
|
|
viewer.
|
|
|
|
wxPython is a port of wxWidgets and as such compatible to other ports
|
|
like wxGTK and wxX11. Note that SlackBuilds.org builds are only tested
|
|
with wxPython (not wxGTK or wxX11), so this is the correct package to
|
|
install unless you have very specific and weird requirements.
|
|
|
|
wxPython can be installed alongside wxGTK3, but it will overwrite the
|
|
/usr/bin/wx-config created by wxGTK3.
|
|
|
|
If you need to build packages using wxGTK3, simply reinstall the
|
|
wxGTK3 package and wx-config will point to correct version.
|
|
|
|
The same solution can be used if wxPython's wx-config is overwritten.
|
|
|
|
We are in the process of updating all scripts that use wxGTK3 or
|
|
wxPython to ignore the wx-config symlink at build time, so this will
|
|
stop being a problem some time in the future.
