531 <h2>Python</h2>
532
533 Python is an interpreted, interactive, object-oriented programming
534 language often compared to Tcl, Perl, Scheme, or Java.
535
536 <p> Python combines remarkable power with very clear syntax. It has
537 modules, classes, exceptions, very high level dynamic data types, and
538 dynamic typing. There are interfaces to many system calls and
539 libraries, and new built-in modules are easily written in C or
540 C++. Python is also usable as an extension language for applications
541 that need a programmable interface. <p>
542
543 <h2>wxWindows</h2>
544
545 wxWindows is a free C++ framework designed to make cross-platform
546 programming child's play. Well, almost. wxWindows 2 supports Windows
547 3.1/95/98/NT, Unix with GTK/Motif/Lesstif, with a Mac version
548 underway. Other ports are under consideration. <p>
549
550 wxWindows is a set of libraries that allows C++ applications to
551 compile and run on several different types of computers, with minimal
552 source code changes. There is one library per supported GUI (such as
553 Motif, or Windows). As well as providing a common API (Application
554 Programming Interface) for GUI functionality, it provides
555 functionality for accessing some commonly-used operating system
556 facilities, such as copying or deleting files. wxWindows is a
557 'framework' in the sense that it provides a lot of built-in
558 functionality, which the application can use or replace as required,
559 thus saving a great deal of coding effort. Basic data structures such
560 as strings, linked lists and hash tables are also supported.
561
562 <p>
563 <h2>wxPython</h2>
564
565 wxPython is a Python extension module that encapsulates the wxWindows
566 GUI classes. Currently it is only available for the Win32 and GTK
567 ports of wxWindows, but as soon as the other ports are brought up to
568 the same level as Win32 and GTK, it should be fairly trivial to
569 enable wxPython to be used with the new GUI.
570
571 <p>
572
573 The wxPython extension module attempts to mirror the class heiarchy
574 of wxWindows as closely as possible. This means that there is a
575 wxFrame class in wxPython that looks, smells, tastes and acts almost
576 the same as the wxFrame class in the C++ version. Unfortunately,
577 because of differences in the languages, wxPython doesn't match
578 wxWindows exactly, but the differences should be easy to absorb
579 because they are natural to Python. For example, some methods that
580 return multiple values via argument pointers in C++ will return a
581 tuple of values in Python.
582
583 <p>
584
585 There is still much to be done for wxPython, many classes still need
586 to be mirrored. Also, wxWindows is still somewhat of a moving target
587 so it is a bit of an effort just keeping wxPython up to date. On the
588 other hand, there are enough of the core classes completed that
589 useful applications can be written.
590
591 <p>
592
593 wxPython is close enough to the C++ version that the majority of
594 the wxPython documentation is actually just notes attached to the C++
595 documents that describe the places where wxPython is different. There
596 is also a series of sample programs included, and a series of
597 documentation pages that assist the programmer in getting started
598 with wxPython.
