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:
http://download.microsoft.com/download/platformsdk/Comctl32/5.80.2614.3600/W9XNT4/EN-US/50comupd.exe
Windows 95 users may also need the WinSock 2.0 and OpenGL libraries.
These can be found at these sites:
http://www.microsoft.com/windows95/downloads/contents/wuadmintools/s_wunetworkingtools/w95sockets2/default.asp
http://www.opengl.org/Downloads/Downloads.html
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.
