1 | wxPython README | |
2 | --------------- | |
3 | ||
4 | Welcome to the wonderful world of wxPython! | |
5 | ||
6 | Once you have installed the wxPython extension module, you can try it | |
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." | |
19 | ||
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 | |
26 | ||
27 | http://msdn.microsoft.com/workshop/author/htmlhelp/download.asp. | |
28 | ||
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: | |
32 | ||
33 | http://download.microsoft.com/download/platformsdk/Comctl32/5.80.2614.3600/W9XNT4/EN-US/50comupd.exe | |
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 | |
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 | |
52 | ||
53 | http://lists.wxwindows.org/mailman/listinfo/wxpython-users | |
54 | ||
55 | Or you can send mail directly to the list using this address: | |
56 | ||
57 | wxpython-users@lists.wxwindows.org | |
