Re: Digest for [email protected] - 4 updates in 1 topic

My distro is PCLinuxOS originally forked from Mandrake 9 circa 2003, so
it's RPM based and uses KDE as its primary desktop.  Currently Python 2,
and Python 3 are installed by default., but only wxPython 3 is installed.
If OpenSuse has both versions of wxPython available, can both be installed,
and coexist successfully, or does one have to install version 3, or version
4?  If the former I'd like to inform my distro's maintainers that the folk
maintaining OpenSuse have figured how to get WxPython 3 and 4 to coexist.
