WxPython experts: what version do we require? If it is earlier than
2.8, then it appears we badly need a testing procedure to ensure
compatibility. (A testing procedure for python version compatibility
would be nice, also--has anyone looked into what it would take to set up
and run a buildbot?)

Clearly I'm developing on 2.8, otherwise I wouldn't be introducing
so many issues for older versions. What version do people want
supported?

I presume IsShownOnScreen is another 2.8-specific method, but a Google
search does not immediately turn up this information, and I don't
normally deal with wx, so I have to pass this problem on to someone who
does.

[41233]: IsVisible --> IsShownOnScreen

   wxTrac has been migrated to GitHub Issues - wxWidgets

The date on this patch is 2006-09-14, so almost two years old.

It seems like the old name is removed, so it is one or the other.

No indication on trac of which release number.

For wxagg, we would like to support 2.6.3.2.2 and later (if it is not
too much work) since this is the version in lenny testing. I think
they've had a little trouble For wx native rendering, we must use 2.8
or later (if we are going to support this at all). So if you could
add the IsVisible compatibility layer to wxagg, that would be great.,
this would be ideal
