Re: Discovered wxPython-Zombie

I disagree about months of inactivity being any sort of indicator on Github. wxPython is a relatively mature, stable product as is the wxWidgets library it is built atop. I’m seeing severael pull requests on Github so it may be more likely that Robin is just busy with other things right now.

Five months of inactivity on github master branch and seven months without uploads to PyPI *is* a bit of a worry....

Assuming there will be no more binary extension packages for future major versions of Python, wxPython-zombie will provide the 64-bit binary extension package (build with Visual Studio 2019) for MS Windows 10 and the source package to build for Linux. wxPython-zombie has a ton of issues, but no more development and issue solving will be done. You must not install wxPython and wxPython-zombie in the same environment, both packages use the package directory wx.
