[matplotlib-devel] Selecting WX2.8 in examples

[Sandro T. <mo...@de...>]

Hello,
we are facing a problem in Debian where a user has problems running
embedding_in_wx*.py examples.

The problem is:

>>> from wx import *
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute '__DocFilter'
>>> import wx
>>> print wx.__version__
2.6.3.2

Since WX2.8 is the one to use, the solution is simple:

>>> import wxversion
>>> wxversion.select('2.8')
>>> from wx import *
>>> wx.__version__
'2.8.7.1'

That solves the problem of multi-wx on a system.

What do you think about adding those 2 line into wx examples?

Regards,
