You can create a custom editor by subclassing wxEditor. Even though much of the editor is implemented in Python, it runs surprisingly smoothly on normal hardware with small files. How to use it ------------- The demo code (demo/wxEditor.py) shows how to use wxEditor as a simple text box. Use the SetText() and GetText() methods to set or get text from the component; these both use a list of strings. The samples/FrogEdit directory has an example of a simple text editor application that uses the wxEditor component. Subclassing ----------- To add or change functionality, you can subclass this component. One example of this might be to change the key Alt key commands. In that case you would (for example) override the SetAltFuncs() method. """ if __name__ == '__main__': import sys,os import run run.main(['', os.path.basename(sys.argv[0])])
