py-wxpython-2.8: track the progress of transition to 3.0 and try to remove the port

[mojca (Mojca Miklavec)]

According to my counting there are currently up to three ports that are incompatible with wxPython 3.0 (see the initial ticket #38375):

2.8-only:

• python/py-dsv (cca. 1000 lines of possibly abandoned Python code)

compiles with 3.0, but doesn't work properly:

• gis/grass (new version theoretically works with 3.0, but there are some issues left on mac; #42161, #44056)
• python/py-robotframework-ride (​https://github.com/robotframework/RIDE/issues/924)

---

fully compatible with 3.0:

• python/py-pyface (​https://github.com/enthought/pyface/issues/96)
  • python/py-mayavi
• python/py-pyphant
• python/py-sogl
• python/py-winpdb
• science/gnuradio
• science/gr-fosphor
• science/relax
• science/stimfit

I opened this ticket to track the progress towards the ideal world where supporting just wxPython 3.0 will be sufficient.

preliminary attempt to make py-dsv work with wxPython 3.0

See ticket #46585 for py-pyface and py-mayavi.

I adjusted some links. Pyface developer claim that the software should be compatible with 3.0 by now and I updated the link to the issue tracker for RIDE.

py-mayavi is probably/hopefully resolved together with py-pyface as well?

Jonathan, can you test please?
