Well, In that case could only complicate windows for the ones who build
from sources, because they will need to build wx + wxpython , certainly
It's to avoid
version mistmatches.

I'll try to help on the Win32 compilation, as I'm starting to deploy a
Win32 devel environment. MacOS will need more help.

If you're in linux, you don't need to be worried about it. But we must take
care of Windows compilation for sure.

Other wx versions might work as long as they are supported by the wxPython
sources.

Oh, I understand what you mean.

We're working on a separate branch right now until the concept works as
expected ( https://code.launchpad.net/~miguelangel-r/kicad/scripting ) if
you try the branch there you must know that only pcbnew compilation works
right now.


Anyway, we can make the internal "wx" scripting a conditional compile, so
you can avoid it when needed (but then you might be loosing the wx
functionality from python).
