[wxPython-dev] 2.8.7.0 coming soon

[jmf]

Well, I toyed this morning with Editra. It's a good piece of software,
but in my mind the real questions (some) are:

- Does such a tool belong to "wxPython"?

- If yes, does it make sense to embed it in the runtime part of
wxPython? The demo-doc stuff seems to be more appropriate. After all,
this is "just an wxPython application", contrary to XRCed or pyShell which
are pure dedicated wxPython applications/tools.

- If it is part of wxPython, it is aimed to the Python users, why does it
not default to the Python language. On my win platform, just after the launching
I have : \n as newline, no Python lexer, after Python lexer selection: no
indentation and pressing the tab key introduces a \t char corresponding to
8 spaces (!). GvR should not be very happy.

- Should a wxPython newbee install it? There is a nsis installer!

Do not get me wrong. I'm just trying to think like a wxPython beginner.
