Can wxWidgets/wxPython 2.4 and 2.5 co-exist on same PC?

[R Baumann]

I would like to be able to run Boa Constructor, which does not yet use 2.5,
but I would also like to work with Dabo which does.

Anyone have any ideas about how to accomplish this?

Thanks
Ruben

I would imagine it depends on your platform. For instance, Gentoo Linux has a
mechanism called slots that allows multiple versions of the same app to be
installed.

Have a look at http://wiki.wxpython.org/index.cgi/VersionSelection
Also I would recommend looking at the wxpython list archives, this has
been discussed a lot recently.
If you have specific problems once you've tried the above, then report
them and maybe you can get specific help

I have historically just run two different versions of Python and
wxPython when I needed as much.

On Windows, you would just install them to different folders.

On *nix, if you compile it yourself, in the sequence:
./configure
make
make install

you can use 'make altinstall' instead of 'make install', or even alter
the PREFIX variable in the Makefile between 'make' and 'make install'.

Well if you are running Windows there is a very easy way to accomplish that.

If you are running Linux then you will probably have to wait for the planned
wxPython versioning scheme. On Mac OS X you shouldn't bother running
anything earlier than wxPython 2.5.2.7.
