[vtkusers] [VTK4.x + Python + wxPhyton] wxVTKRenderWindow maturity

[Eric Boix]

	Dear wxVTKRenderWindow users,

Thanks David and Prabhu for the support ! Sorry for my bitterness on the
subject but I feel a bit trapped with powerfull tools I do not master.
It's so close to be fully effective...

Ok. I'll stick to the version included in VTK4.x and consider that as
the reference. Considering only one branch should make things easier !

Thanks david. With your changes (both on the wxVTKRenderWindow and the
testSideBySide.py itself) all the tests run smoothly on Linux.

Now with Win32 (hey, I'm not so fond of Win32, but some of my lab users
"need" it. Sighhh) : the testSplitter.py scripts freezes on a call back to
wxVTKRenderWindow._OnSize. When you comment out the line 250 i.e.
        self._RenderWindow.SetSize(width, height)
in wxVTKRenderWindow._OnSize, then everything works great !
Any logical explanation ?

Sorry Prabhu but I could't find any reference to 2.2.6 version on the
download page of wxPython at sourceforge :
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=10718&release_id=66468
Did I miss something ?

I can tell it's difficult. I got lost when reading the sources: too low milage !
Thanks again for your job !

But using wxPython is so tempting since the widgets are plentyfull and
contemporary. Plus they have the native look and feel when available.

	Thanks again,
