Welcome to the wonderful world of wxPython!
|
||||
|
||||
Once you have installed the wxPython extension module, you can try it
|
||||
out by going to the [install dir]\wxPython\demo directory and typing:
|
||||
So where do you go from here? The best thing to do is to run the demo
|
||||
and use its source code to help you learn how to use wxPython. Most
|
||||
of the classes available are demonstrated there, and you can view the
|
||||
sources directly in the demo so it is designed to help you learn. If
|
||||
you are on Windows or OS X then you can run the demo just by double
|
||||
clicking it's icon. If you are on Linux/Unix then change to the
|
||||
directory containing the demo and type:
|
||||
|
||||
python demo.py
|
||||
|
||||
There are also some other sample files there for you to play with and
|
||||
learn from.
|
||||
There are also some sample mini applications available for you to run
|
||||
and to play with as a learning exercise.
|
||||
|
||||
If you selected to install the documentation then point your browser
|
||||
to [install dir]\wxPython\docs\index.htm and you will then be looking
|
||||
at the docs for wxWindows. For the most part you can use the C++ docs
|
||||
as most classes and methods are used identically. Where there are
|
||||
differences they are documented with a "wxPython Note."
|
||||
The next thing you should do is join the wxPython-users maillist where
|
||||
you can interact with a community of other users and developers who
|
||||
are willing to help you learn, answer questions and solve problems.
|
||||
To join the mail list just send an email message to the following
|
||||
address from the account you want to receive the mail messages from
|
||||
the list:
|
||||
|
||||
On Win32 systems the binary self-installer creates a program group on
|
||||
the Start Menu that contains a link to running the demo and a link to
|
||||
the help file. To help you save disk space I'm now using Microsoft's
|
||||
HTML Help format. If your system doesn't know what to do with the help
|
||||
file, you can install the HTML Help Viewer as part of IE 4+, NT
|
||||
Service Pack 4+, or the HTML Workshop at
|
||||
wxPython-users-subscribe@lists.wxwindows.org
|
||||
|
||||
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/htmlhelp/html/hwMicrosoftHTMLHelpDownloads.asp
|
||||
|
||||
For some features, the latest common controls library from microsoft
|
||||
is required. You can get this by installing IE 5.0 or Office 2000.
|
||||
You can also get it independently from here:

||||

|
||||
|
||||
Windows 95 users may also need the WinSock 2.0 and OpenGL libraries.
|
||||
These can be found at these sites:

Getting Help
|
||||
------------
|
||||
|
||||
Since wxPython is a blending of multiple technologies, help comes from
|
||||
multiple sources. See the http://wxPython.org/ for details on various
|
||||
sources of help, but probably the best source is the wxPython-users
|
||||
mail list. You can view the archive or subscribe by going to
|
||||
|
||||
http://lists.wxwindows.org/mailman/listinfo/wxpython-users
|
||||
|
||||
Or you can send mail directly to the list using this address:
|
||||
|
||||
wxpython-users@lists.wxwindows.org
|
||||
There is also a good set of class reference documentation available
|
||||
for wxPython, but currently it is geared for the C++ user. This may
|
||||
be a little daunting at first, but with a little practice you'll
|
||||
easily be able to "translate" from the C++ shown there to Python. Not
|
||||
all classes documented are available in Python, but most of the GUI
|
||||
related classes are.
