Does someone has installed wxPython on the Cygwin platform, environment ?

Thank you

Why? Use windows python, wxPython for it - and put it in your path to
use it inside cygwin.

But maybe you _can_ compile it yourself - I didn't try, though.

Don't think that'll work for an extension module.

Probably a daunting task.

Sure it will. You can call whatever program you want from cygwin, as
long as it is in the path. No difference to double-clicking an icon or
something similar.

Yes, and probably not working unless you use MinGW, as you need
windows-headers instead of Posix-style GCC. But I've compiled Python, Qt
and some other libs using MinGW, and cygwin. So I think it should be doable.

Aah, right - I misunderstood you to be saying "use the Windows wxPython
module under Cygwin Python".

I'm sure the Cygwin world would be grateful if you or someone else were
to establish the correct build procedure.

For Qt? I found it on the Qt free edition site, and followed the
instructionbs. Not much to do there. But make sure you have _plenty_ of
time. It took me _days_ to compile Qt. No idea why MinGW is so darn slow.

I installed wxPython 2.4.2.4 from the prebuilt binary for Windows. I am using the Cygwin version of Python 2.3.2. After installing wxPython, I ran the minimal window script: http://www.wxpython.org/test1.py.html That script gave this output: $ ./wxtest.py Traceback (most recent call last): File "./wxtest.py", line 20, in ? from wxPython.wx import *

Hi all, I made a small dialog in WxPython. I can run the python script with a double-click or through command line, and everything goes fine (dialog appears, which means that wx module has been found). Then, I decided to write a C program (under Windows, with Cygwin) that will read my script (through PyRun_SimpleFile() function) and run it. But the system doesn't find the wx module to import...

The subject line says it all. Is there a way to install wxPython on a Windows machine without admin privs? I love the way python doesn't need admin to install locally, and I'd like to try wxPython w/o having to get our help desk involved. Do I have to compile it from source with Cygwin? Thanks.

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
