[DebianGIS] thuban strict wxPython version check?

[Paul Wise <pabs3@bonedaddy.net>]

Hi all,

I'm wondering what the following check from Thuban/version.py is for? Is
the wxWidgets ABI really so fragile that wxProj breaks on new minor
2.6.X versions or new 2.4.X versions? Surely using the soname to do
version checks with the normal shared library support is enough?

    # Check whether the wxWindows version of wxPython and thuban's
    # wxproj module match.  If they don't match, segfaults are likely.
    if versions["wxproj-wx-tuple"] != versions["wxPython-tuple"][:3]:
        errors.append(_("Thuban was compiled with wx %(wxproj-wx)s"
                        " but wxPython is %(wxPython)s")
                      % versions)

I get the feeling I'm missing something about wxProj and it's
relationship to wxWidgets, enlightenment would be welcome.
