Hi Douglas,

the soon-to-be-released version 1.4 of port will come with a python 2.5 "port group". This will allow us to quickly produce all the python vastness for python 2.5, too. This might be a chance for newcomers to start coding Portfiles: Basically you will have to replace the "GroupCode" line and the name from the python 2.4 module Portfile to get a Python 2.5 one. People with the release candidate of 1.4 installed can already hack away here (just don't put that code into the repository yet - as long as 1.4 is not released)

I'm nonplussed by the massive code duplication that will occur for py25 portfiles -- these will almost invariably be direct copies of the py24 portfiles. I'm not sure of the best solution -- perhaps python portgroup can either point to 24 or 25?

I'm nonplussed (even upset) about broken python applications because suddenly some py-* ports (read py-wxPython (there may be others--I just don't know)) depend on python25 while other py-* ports depend on python24.

Ditto. I am disappointed how the py-wxpython Port has been handled. I based a professional product on the 2.6 version 9 months ago which has shipped and worked great, and when we went to upgrade to HEAD, it doesn't build.

Me, too. Basically the problem is that wxPython and wxWidgets are currently out of sync. That is very unfortunate, and that is still the case. NB! Markus changed the said port to depend on python 2.4, but that doesn't help much, because wxWidgets is already at 2.8.0 (devel is at 2.8.2-rc1). We could have a port for wxWidgets 2.6(.3). I wrote that already, but I have not committed that yet (does someone want this?).

Yes, that would be useful to have wxWidgets26 and a py-wxpython26 so we have a working build.

BTW, py-wxpython should build fine (I built it with 2.5, and I guess Markus built it with 2.4).

Last I tried py-wxpython was broken, even though wxWidgets-devel did build. I should try again. Regards, Blair
