grass7 wxGUI fails to start as can't find embeddedimage

[hamish]

the grass 7 wxGUI dies on startup for me with:

 Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/hamish/dev/grass/svn/trunk/dist.x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/etc/gui/wxpython/wxgui.py", line 74, in <module>

    from wx.lib.embeddedimage import PyEmbeddedImage
ImportError: No module named embeddedimage

debian/stable on amd64: python 2.5.2, wx 2.8.7

thanks, Hamish

It seems that embeddedimage is only available from wx 2.8.9 onwards. I'll make a plan.

Fixed in r42852, using now a method similar to what the wxGUI uses to get icons.

PS: IMHO, wx version numbering and incompatibilities between 2.8.7 through to 2.8.11 are a major PITA

thanks, gui starts again now.

... just wait until wx for python 3.0 comes out, then the real fun begins. :-) hopefully all these projects have a chance to mature as mo/lesstif and tcltk have before they self-implode or get replaced by other young stuff. anyway it makes me feel a little better about grass being uber conservative with such things.
