wxPython README
|
|
---------------
|
|
|
|
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:
|
|
|
|
python demo.py
|
|
|
|
There are also some other sample files there for you to play with and
|
|
learn from.
|
|
|
|
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."
|
|
|
|
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
|
|
|
|
http://msdn.microsoft.com/workshop/author/htmlhelp/download.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:
|
|
|
|
|
|

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.sourceforge.net/mailman/listinfo/wxpython-users
|
|
|
|
Or you can send mail directly to the list using this address:
|
|
|
|
wxpython-users@lists.sourceforge.net
