4 | Welcome to the wonderful world of wxPython! |
5 | ||
bb0054cd | 6 | Once you have installed the wxPython extension module, you can try it |
c127177f RD |
7 | out by going to the [install dir]\wxPython\demo directory and typing: |
8 | ||
9 | python demo.py | |
10 | ||
11 | There are also some other sample files there for you to play with and | |
12 | learn from. | |
13 | ||
14 | If you selected to install the documentation then point your browser | |
15 | to [install dir]\wxPython\docs\index.htm and you will then be looking | |
16 | at the docs for wxWindows. For the most part you can use the C++ docs | |
17 | as most classes and methods are used identically. Where there are | |
18 | differences they are documented with a "wxPython Note." | |

20 | On Win32 systems the binary self-installer creates a program group on |
21 | the Start Menu that contains a link to running the demo and a link to | |
22 | the help file. To help you save disk space I'm now using Microsoft's | |
23 | HTML Help format. If your system doesn't know what to do with the help | |
24 | file, you can install the HTML Help Viewer as part of IE 4+, NT | |
25 | Service Pack 4+, or the HTML Workshop at | |

29 | For some features, the latest common controls library from microsoft |
30 | is required. You can get this by installing IE 5.0 or Office 2000. | |
31 | You can also get it independently from here: | |

34 | ||
35 | Windows 95 users may also need the WinSock 2.0 and OpenGL libraries. | |
36 | These can be found at these sites: | |

45 | Getting Help | |
46 | ------------ | |
47 | ||
48 | Since wxPython is a blending of multiple technologies, help comes from | |
c368d904 RD |
49 | multiple sources. See the http://wxPython.org/ for details on various |
50 | sources of help, but probably the best source is the wxPython-users | |
51 | mail list. You can view the archive or subscribe by going to | |
af309447 | 52 | |
b075a3bb | 53 | http://lists.wxwindows.org/mailman/listinfo/wxpython-users |
af309447 RD |
54 | |
55 | Or you can send mail directly to the list using this address: | |
