Tribler: migrate to wxpython3.0

[grandpaul]

Dear Tribler developers,

In Debian, currently wxwidgets2.8 is dropping for jessie release.
So a migration from 2.8 to 3.0 is needed.
It is described in https://bugs.debian.org/759044

Olly Betts made a patch for this. But there's still some issue. Please see the attachment in Debian bug report. It is named tribler-6.3.1+git20140902.9a5a2604-1.1-nmu.diff
Thanks a lot.

Yours Sincerely,
Paul

Thanks, we'll have a look at this.

Have this stalled?

Sadly we're too understaffed to take care of this..

But we welcome collaborators :)

Are there any plans to work on this? Would be nice to have Tribler installable on Debian Jessie (and derivatives).

There's a WIP branch dealing with this:

Seems to work, but it still gives some warnings and needs more testing.

This started in 2014, but will be finished early 2016 :-)

We will put out a specific release focused exclusively on WX3 support in coming weeks.
We have been kicked out of Debian and need to get back in.

@devos50 could you focus on dealing with the remaining wx bugs assinged to this milestone so we can release a first Alpha?

[devos50]

@whirm will do!
