[Python-modules-team] Bug#758695: python-traitsui: Please update to use wxpython3.0

[Olly Betts]

Package: python-traitsui
Version: 4.4.0-1.1
Severity: important
Tags: patch sid jessie
User: freewx-maint at lists.alioth.debian.org
Usertags: wxpy3.0
Control: block 755757 by -1

We're aiming to migrate the archive to using wxpython3.0 instead of
wxwidgets2.8, and hope to drop wxwidgets2.8 before jessie is released.

I've rebuilt python-traitsui by simply updating the dependencies (see
the attached patch).

I tried to test it by running the tests it includes (using nose).  I'm
not sure how useful these tests are, as they don't all pass before my
changes, but FWIW, I tested these two combinations:

python-wxgtk2.8 + python-traitsui 4.4.0-1.1 + python-pyface 4.4.0-1.1

python-wxgtk3.0 + patched python-traitsui + python-pyface 4.4.0-1.2 (see

The updated python-pyface also just updates the dependencies - see
#757313 for that patch.

Things actually look slightly better with the second one:

< FAILED (SKIP=14, errors=1, failures=3)
---
> FAILED (SKIP=14, failures=3)

I'm happy to NMU these changes.

Cheers,
    Olly
