RE: [Pythoncard-users] Problems with CVS samples

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

wxURLDataObject is a wxPython 2.3.2 class for handling drag and drop of URLs
from browsers. The problem is most likely that the initialization gets
screwed up and so everything else breaks. I'm pretty sure Simon meant to add
a 2.3.2 check in his code and do a sys.exit() if not found or disable the
drag n drop, but I was rushing the update this morning, so it was
overlooked. If you ugprade to 2.3.2b7 the problem will go away, otherwise
just don't run that sample :) I'll wait until Simon has a chance to fix this
before I do a 0.5.2 release. Almost everyone in the USA will be stuffing
their faces with turkey tomorrow and shopping on Friday, so there is no
hurry.
