<p>If something hits you on the head, don't run around screaming that the
sky is falling. Instead, take a close look and see if it wasn't a
&quot;wx&quot; prefix that hit you. Apparently, they're dropping off wxPython
class names like flies dropping dead in the scorching heat of a
summer's day.</p>
<p>Yes, the world is changing, and even our little wxPython world must
change with it. Then again, I'm not fond of pesky summertime flies,
and I'm not too upset that the &quot;wx&quot; prefixes are going to bite the
dust. I think it's for the best. But, being the kind, considerate
person that I am, I decided to write this guide to make the wx
namespace transition easier for everyone, even Chicken Little.</p>
<div class="sidebar">
<p class="sidebar-title">Say what?</p>
<p>If you have no idea what I mean by the &quot;wx namespace transition,&quot;
consider yourself lucky. You can simply use these examples to
learn wxPython in its current state. All you need to know is that
previous wxPython code used a slightly different syntax that some
folks (including me) considered ugly. So we changed it. And
that's when the sky starting falling...</p>
</div>
<p>Rather than simply <strong>tell</strong> you that everything will be okay, I
decided to <strong>show</strong> you that everything will be okay. To do that,
I've created a bunch of example programs using the new wx package. I
hope you like them.</p>

<div class="section" id="basic">
<h1><a class="toc-backref" href="#id2" name="basic">Basic</a></h1>
<p>It doesn't get much simpler than this. Every wxPython program needs
an application and a frame. To encourage good coding habits, I've
split them into separate modules. They don't do much, but they're a
good starting point.</p>
<p>I include a simple App class in the frame module because the PyCrust
&quot;wrapper&quot; utility (<tt class="literal"><span class="pre">wrap.py</span></tt>) only works with modules that contain
an application class. So including a simple one in each of your frame
modules allows you to use the PyCrust runtime wrapper and debug your
frames independent of your full application.</p>
<p>Here is the module (<tt class="literal"><span class="pre">frame.py</span></tt>) that defines the frame class:</p>
<pre class="literal-block">
#!/usr/bin/env python
&quot;&quot;&quot;Basic frame class, with App for testing.&quot;&quot;&quot;
__author__ = &quot;Patrick K. O'Brien &lt;pobrien&#64;orbtech.com&gt;&quot;
__cvsid__ = &quot;$Id$&quot;
__revision__ = &quot;$Revision$&quot;[11:-2]
import wx
class Frame(wx.Frame):
&quot;&quot;&quot;Frame class.&quot;&quot;&quot;
def __init__(self, parent=None, id=-1, title='Title',
pos=wx.DefaultPosition, size=(400, 200)):
&quot;&quot;&quot;Create a Frame instance.&quot;&quot;&quot;
wx.Frame.__init__(self, parent, id, title, pos, size)
class App(wx.App):
&quot;&quot;&quot;Application class.&quot;&quot;&quot;
def OnInit(self):
self.frame = Frame()
self.frame.Show()
self.SetTopWindow(self.frame)
return True
def main():
app = App()
app.MainLoop()
if __name__ == '__main__':
main()
</pre>
<p>And here is the module (<tt class="literal"><span class="pre">app.py</span></tt>) that defines the application class
and imports the frame from <tt class="literal"><span class="pre">frame.py</span></tt>:</p>
<pre class="literal-block">
#!/usr/bin/env python
&quot;&quot;&quot;Basic application class.&quot;&quot;&quot;

<div class="section" id="hello">
<h1><a class="toc-backref" href="#id3" name="hello">Hello</a></h1>
<p>This program displays an image file (<tt class="literal"><span class="pre">wxPython.jpg</span></tt>) inside a frame
