Detailed Description
This change proposal aims to get wxPython 3.0 (Python bindings for the wxWidgets GUI library) packaged and into Fedora. Currently Fedora has wxPython 2.8 which has not been updated since 2011. The plan is to make wxPython 3.0 co-installable with wxPython 2.8, similarly to what has been done with the wxWidgets packages (wxGTK and wxGTK3).
Benefit to Fedora
This change brings a more modern wxPython to Fedora, including support for GTK3 (currently wxPython 2.8 uses GTK2). Additionally, it moves Fedora to a supported version of wxPython.
Scope
- Proposal owners:
- Update existing wxPython package so that it is co-installable with wxPython 3 (currently in progress).
- Get wxPython 3 through the package review process, built, and ensure it can co-exist with wxPython 2.8 package.
- Other developers:
- For maintainers of packages that depend on wxPython, after wxPython 3 is packaged, verify that their packages continue to use wxPython 2.8 correctly when wxPython 3.0 is co-installed. A small change may be required to some packages to ensure they select wxPython 2.8 specifically.
- Optional: switch dependent packages to use wxPython 3.0. This can be done package-by-package as time permits, but may be more involved.
