#---------------------------------------------------------------------- # Name: wxversion # Purpose: Allows a wxPython program to search for alternate # installations of the wxPython packages and modify sys.path # so they will be found when "import wx" is done. # # Author: Robin Dunn # # Created: 24-Sept-2004 # RCS-ID: $Id$ # Copyright: (c) 2004 by Total Control Software # Licence: wxWindows license #---------------------------------------------------------------------- """ If you have more than one version of wxPython installed this module allows your application to choose which version of wxPython will be imported when it does 'import wx'. You use it like this: import wxversion wxversion.require('2.4') import wx Of course the default wxPython version can also be controlled by setting PYTHONPATH or by editing the wx.pth path configuration file, but using wxversion will allow an application to manage the version selection itself rather than depend on the user to setup the environment correctly. It works by searching the sys.path for directories matching wx-* and then comparing them to what was passed to the require function. If a match is found then that path is inserted into sys.path. """ import sys, os, glob, fnmatch def require(versions): """ Search for a wxPython installation that matches version. :param version: Specifies the version to look for, it can either be a sting or a list of strings. Each string is compared to the installed wxPythons and the best match is added to the sys.path, allowing an 'import wx' to find that version. The version string is composed of the dotted version number (at least 2 of the 4 components) optionally followed by hyphen ('-') separated options (wx port, unicode/ansi, flavour, etc.) A match is determined by how much of the installed version matches what is given in the version parameter. If the version number components don't match then the score is zero, otherwise the score is increased for every specified optional component that is specified and that matches.
