[Pythoncard-users] PythonCard and wxPython 2.8

[Phil E. <ph...@li...>]

Hi All:

I've downloaded the wxPython 2.8 source RPM and attempted to 
build/install it on a Mandriva 2007.0 machine alongside PythonCard 
0.8.2. When I run the resource editor, I get an assertion error:

[phile@localhost:/home/phile]
$ /usr/share/PythonCard/tools/resourceEditor/resourceEditor.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
   File 
"/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/wx-2.8-gtk2-unicode/wx/_core.py", line

     lambda event: event.callable(*event.args, **event.kw) )
   File "/usr/share/PythonCard/tools/resourceEditor/resourceEditor.py", 
line 149, in on_initialize
     self.updatePanel(self.rsrc)
   File "/usr/share/PythonCard/tools/resourceEditor/resourceEditor.py", 
line 1273, in updatePanel
     self.menuBar.setEnabled('menuFileRun', True)
   File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/PythonCard/menu.py", line 427, 
in setEnabled
     self.Enable(id, aBoolean)
   File 
"/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/wx-2.8-gtk2-unicode/wx/_core.py", line 
11151, in Enable
     return _core_.MenuBar_Enable(*args, **kwargs)
wx._core.PyAssertionError: C++ assertion "item" failed at 
../src/common/menucmn.cpp(1072) in Enable(): attempt to enable an item 
which doesn't exist

As you can probably surmise from the message, this is a Unicode build of 
wx against GTK2.

Has anybody been able to successfully run PythonCard with wx 2.8 on Linux?
