#40207: remove wx variant from py-pyface --------------------------+-------------------------------- Reporter: jjstickel@… | Owner: macports-tickets@… Type: update | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 2.2.0 Resolution: | Keywords: wxwidgets haspatch Port: py-pyface | --------------------------+-------------------------------- Comment (by jjstickel@…): Replying to [comment:3 mojca@…]:
Just to clarify things a bit ...
My main question is: do you plan to keep support for wxWidgets in the future? The main question is whether the port is compatible with wxWidgets 2.9. In case it is, the situation is trivial - the dependency gets switched to {{{py${python.version}-wxpython-3.0}}} and that's all. In case it is not, an additional variant might be needed to distinguish between dependencies on wxWidgets 2.8 and wxGTK 2.8.
From what I can tell, and what I experienced the last time I tested, Enthought software is not compatible with wx-2.9. This may change with 3.0, but I don't know for sure. If it does work with 3.0, then the variant should exist.
There is one more thing I noticed now. All the port does is depend on wxpython. Shouldn't the port disable wxpython support when wxpython is installed, but the variant is not selected?
Yes, you are right about this. If wxpython is around, py-pyface tries to use it even if pyqt4 is installed. This should be fixed, but I don't have much time to investigate. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/40207#comment:4> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X
