Looked this up.... wx.NotebookSizer has been deprecated and removed since wxPython 2.7.1.1.

Theoretically, boa's /Companions/SizerCompanions.py should be updated to take this into account. (haven't checked in CVS, so this may already be the case in pre-release
CVS versions...)

The problem is that Boa Constructor 0.4.4 requires wxPython 2.6.2.1. Any more recent versions of wxPython begins to start introducing incompatibilities (eg, wx.NotebookSizer removed from wxPython 2.7.1.1, and wx.stc.STC_LEX_ASP and wx.stc.STC_LEX_PHP are removed from wxPython 2.6.3.0).

Therefore to use Boa Constructor 0.4.4 you have two choices:

1. download and use wxPython 2.6.2.1
2. use your newer wxPython but follow the Anonymous CVS Access instructions at <https://sourceforge.net/cvs/?group_id=1909> and get the latest source by checking out the "boa" directory, and replacing Lib/site-packages/boa-constructor with it. I know this to work for wxPython 2.8.1.1.
