Fatal GUI Segmentation Fault bugs in wxPython 2.8. -- January 19, 2015 - 11:43

Hi,

Because of bug #23189 (https://gna.org/bugs/?23189), I'm considering
depreciating wxPython 2.8 in relax.  As it will still be present on
many systems, I am thinking of implementing this as follows:

- The dep_check module gives a warning when the program is started
that the wxPython 2.8 version is buggy and can result in segfaults.

- Disable the GUI tests.  The new
General.test_bug_23187_residue_delete_gui GUI test causes the GUI
tests to regularly segfault on wxPython 2.8.  The problem is in the
tree GUI element of the spin viewer window.  The bug was solved in
wxPython 2.9.

- Updating the dependencies in the relax manual
(http://www.nmr-relax.com/manual/Dependencies.html) and the website
(http://www.nmr-relax.com/download.html#Dependencies, though this is
already done) for wxPython 2.9.

Any suggestions are welcome.

Regards,

Edward
