Re: Stuck on KiCad dependency wxPython

[Danny Milosavljevic]

Or maybe the attached patch captures the goal of wxwidgets better (which they 
IMO don't succeed at).

I added gtk, opengl etc as native inputs instead of regular inputs because from 
the point of view of Python they are not direct inputs.

wxPython only requires gtk while building the extension because wxwidgets does 
#include <gtk/gtk.h> in their exported API (why...) - but after it's done it 
will not require it directly anymore and actually just require wxwidgets.

Of course, the gtk version of wxwidgets will still require gtk by itself.

That said, I still think it would be nicer if wxwidgets propagated gtk - since 
when you use wxwidgets, you also need to have gtk as well if wxwidgets was 
compiled for gtk - and the one deciding what wxwidgets is compiled for is the 
wxwidgets package. So it should go there...

What do you think?
