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

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

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

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

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