[wxPython-users] wxRect DeprecationWarning

[Peter Damoc]

Hi Andrea,

what I did in a similar situation last year with the 2.4 -> 2.6 migration
was to inject new functionality in the old class and to use it like the new
class...
Like this:

if wx.VERSION_STRING <"2.7":
    wx.Rect.Contains =3D lambda self, point: wx.Rect.Inside(self, point)

this way all your code is written for the new version... and you can easily
fade out the old one

Keep up the good work and remember... the changes are made to improve
wxPython... Contains makes a lot more sense than Inside.
Peter.
