[chirp_devel] Version of wxPython for py3

[Martin Cooper]

Bringing up the py3 branch to have a look at where the UI is, one of the
first things I tried was File -> New. This immediately died. It seems that
the recently added code for maintaining a recently-opened list relies on a
function that was present in old versions of wxPython (e.g. 2.8.x) but has
been supplanted by a more flexible set of functions in the latest version
(i.e. Phoenix).

This raises the question of what the target version of wxPython is intended
to be. There is a comment in the recently added developer module related to
Phoenix, so I'd assume that it's intended to work under Phoenix. The
question is whether that's what we should be working with, or if support
for an older version is also required.

The particular issue I encountered is easily fixed for 2.8.6.0 and later,
but I think it would be worth putting a stake in the ground in specifying a
minimum version of wxPython as a target, so that people know what
they should develop with.

Thoughts?

Martin.
