Re: [Bitpim-devel] bitpim (CVS) and wxPython 2.5.x (CVS) do not get along...

Not really but given two different wxPython versions on 3 plarforms
it becomes a pain.

The old version doesn't even have a Publication class/member whatever that is.

>>>      Calendar.attroddmonth=CalendarCellAttributes()

That fix is commited.

If NSNotification is limited to the same process, then they are pretty
much identical.

I think your code is a little behind.  Do another CVS update.  Note
that the anonymous repository is around 5 hours behind the real one.

I am not going to switch over to wxPython probably until 2.5.1
is release (the .0 versions always have issues).  You are welcome
to maintain your own set of patches to work with 2.5 but I don't
think it is a particularly good use of your time, especially since
there haven't even been any beta releases yet.

Something that is desperately needed on the Mac is to package
everything up into a normal Mac package.  The instructions at
http://videogamexchange.com/sites/lg4400/ aren't really acceptable.
On Windows you just run the setup.exe and on Linux you just
install the RPM.  Neither has any external dependencies (Python,
wxPython and the other libraries are all bundled inside).  I
would do this on the Mac myself except I don't have one and they
are way to expensive for me to acquire.

If you know how to build Mac packages, your assistance will be
greatly appreciated.   I have collected some links on how to
do it, I just need someone to do it.
