+wxPython README
+---------------
+
+Welcome to the wonderful world of wxPython!
+
+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 sample mini applications available for you to run
+and to play with as a learning exercise.
+
+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 go to this web page and follow the
+instructions there:
+
+	     http://wxpython.org/maillist.php
+
+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 "mentally translate" from the C++ shown into Python.
+(See http://wiki.wxpython.org/index.cgi/C_2b_2bGuideForwxPythoneers
+for a little help on this process.) Not all classes documented are
+available in Python, but most of the GUI related classes are.
