Hi all,
I would like to change minimal required version of wxPython [1].
Currently we support (theoretically) version 2.8.1.1 (released 2007).
I suggest to change it to 2.8.10.1 (2009), for example 2.8.10.1 was
shipped with Ubuntu 10.04 LTS. The reason is obvious: wxGUI is limited
by this requirement. Even the 2.8.10.1 version is pretty old so I
think this won't hurt anybody. Any objections?

PS - There is a similar problem with Python version (required 2.4).
Some interesting features start with 2.5 but usually we can live
without it. Any opinions?

epel 5 (add-on repository for rhel 5, the oldest still maintained rhel
distribution) has 2.8.12. I am not sure that more conservative
repositories have this version, but at least it is available in one
repository with a sufficiently high version.

Same for debian stable. From my point of view it’s pretty safe to switch version as you suggest.

Personally I don’t know anyone still using 2.4.
Thank you

Another old but still maintained repository, ports for FreeBSD 8.3,
has python 2.7 and wxpython 2.8.12. No objections.

I see no reason to support 2.4, and at least one reason to require at
least 2.5 (the "with" statement).
Requiring 2.6 would allow us to start work on forward compatibility
with Python 3.x.
