[GRASS-dev] WxPython prototype GRASS GUI. Version 2

Tue Aug 8 12:45:55 EDT 2006

Well, that seems to be what is going on. I guess we need to require wxPython
2.6.3.

Also, for the moment, I've put a py_gm folder and individual files on my
website so that I don't have to repackage everything when a new update comes
in.

I've put in your very nice menu updates. I put Glynn's script into a scripts
folder inside py_gm and changed the reference in the menu accordingly. There
are several other scripts I'm putting in there as well. These are commands
that won't run correctly using their normal interface descriptions (e.g.,
r.reclass with the rules flag checked). I made them so that they have a
proper interface in the GIS Manager. They will work just the same with the
wxPython version.

Thanks again for your help.

Michael
