[Python-modules-team] Bug#645566: Updating to use wxwidgets2.8

[Olly Betts]

Package: pyro-gui
Version: 1:3.14-1

I'm trying to get packages to migrate from wxwidgets2.6 to wxwidgets2.8
so we can remove the former from the archive - it's no longer supported
upstream, and wxwidgets3.0 is supposed to be out early next year.

Currently pyro-gui depends on python-wxgtk2.6.  However, the code
doesn't use the wxversion module to select a particular version of wx,
so it will already get run with 2.8 if both versions are installed and
the user hasn't changed the alternative setting from the default.

Since python-wxgtk2.8 is depended on by quite a few packages, the
reality is that many users will have been running pyro with 2.8 for some
time already, so this should be a painless change.

If you'd like me to NMU this change, please just let me know.

Cheers,
    Olly
