[Pythoncard-devel] need to verify PythonCard 0.8.2 is fine with Python 2.6 windows/linux

[Kevin A. <al...@se...>]

I installed Python 2.6, wxPython 2.8.9.1, and PythonCard 0.8.2 using  
the exe installer from SF to Windows XP SP2. As far as I can tell,  
the tools and samples work fine under this Windows setup. The only  
thing I noticed was some mouse drag behavior in the resourceEditor  
which I'm pretty sure is Parallels-specific because of the way they  
deal with the virtual mouse.

We already knew Python 2.5.2 works fine, but since I had problems on  
my Mac with 2.6 earlier I wanted to test this to make sure we had a  
stable base to point to for any changes we make. Until there is a 2.6  
build past 2.8.9.1 that fixes the wx.App startup issue, which is  
already fixed on the Windows release, we have to stick with a Python  
2.5.2 and wxPython 2.7.x configuration on the Mac.

If someone can verify that 2.5.2 and 2.6 builds of wxPython 2.8.9.1  
work fine on Linux that would be awesome.

Also, if there are problems on Windows that I missed, go ahead and  
bring them up here so I know what to look at before trying to address  
the Mac fixes Neil has brought up.

Note that all my Windows testing is probably going to be Windows XP  
running under Parallels or Fusion. Just in case there is something  
wacky that happens only under a "real" Windows box or Vista it would  
be great to have additional input.
