Re: [Boa Constr] 20100113 Test build available effects on Boa Constructor

[Chris S. <csp...@ci...>]

I don't get the error you're seeing, but perhaps that's because I
can't get Boa to even start because of the wx.App/wx.StandardPathsBase
problem.

Would you like me to send you a screen cap of the error?  It's not
even a traceback.  The error pops up in a dialog when starting boa.py.

It has become clear to me that some monkeying around in the existing
source code will have to happen to get BOA to work with wxPython 2.9.x

The wx.NO_3D problem is easy to solve with search/replace.  It sounds,
though, like there are more fundamental problems.

To echo an earlier comment, no GUI designer yet exists for wxPython
that beats BOA for ease of use and WYSIWYG designing.  I've been using
BOA since the early 2000's.  I don't have a clue how I'd do GUI work
without it, since nothing comes close.

I hope these issues can be resolved quickly, and I'm willing to do any
testing it takes to make sure that BOA works with 2.9.x.

Chris.
