[GRASS-dev] WxPython GUIs on Debian/stable?

Hi,

I am trying to get the WxPython GUIs started on Debian/stable (sarge).

cd grass63/gui/wxpython

G:wxpython > r.shaded.relief --interface-description | ./grassgui.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "./grassgui.py", line 33, in ?
    import wx
ImportError: No module named wx

# apt-get install libwxgtk2.4-python # Version: 2.4.3.1

G:wxpython > r.shaded.relief --interface-description | ./grassgui.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "./grassgui.py", line 45, in ?
    import subprocess
ImportError: No module named subprocess

where do I get "subprocess" ?

interesting: "python-opengl" package

Description: Python binding to OpenGL
PyOpenGL is a cross-platform open source Python binding to the standard
OpenGL API providing 2D and 3D graphic drawing. PyOpenGL supports the
GL, GLU, GLE, and GLUT libraries. The library can be used with the Tkinter,
wxPython, FxPy, and Win32GUI windowing libraries (or almost any Python
windowing library which can provide an OpenGL context).

thanks,
Hamish

subprocess should be part of the python package:
    http://packages.debian.org/cgi-bin/search_contents.pl?word=%2Fusr%2Flib%2Fpython2.4%2Fsubprocess.py&searchmode=searchfiles&case=insensitive&version=stable&arch=i386

subprocess should be part of the python package:

$ apt-file search subprocess.py
python2.4: usr/lib/python2.4/subprocess.py

so it is.

I have python 2.3 installed, which doesn't have it.

and for some reason Debian/Sarge's Wx 2.4 is a python2.3 lib.. ?

libwxgtk2.4-python: /usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/wxPython/wx.py

maybe just wait for Etch to be released..

thanks,
Hamish

libwxgtk2.4-python: /usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/wxPython/wx.py

the version of wx is 2.4, the version of python is 2.3

I think that for the wxpython GRASS gui you actually need wx version 2.6 with python 2.4.

Yes.

In my office, I am on RHEL4 with Python 2.3. I think that I solved it
like this

1. cp subprocess.py into
    gui/py_gm/compat/subprocess.py

2. Add to grassgui.py:

try:
        import subprocess
except:
        from compat import subprocess

Something like this may solve the backward compatibility problem.
