| 13 | <p>Welcome to the wonderful world of wxPython!</p> |
| 14 | <p>So where do you go from here? The best thing to do is to run the demo |
| 15 | and use its source code to help you learn how to use wxPython. Most |
| 16 | of the classes available are demonstrated there, and you can view the |
| 17 | sources directly in the demo so it is designed to help you learn. If |
| 18 | you are on Windows or OS X then you can run the demo just by double |
| 19 | clicking it's icon. If you are on Linux/Unix then change to the |
| 20 | directory containing the demo and type:</p> |
| 21 | <blockquote> |
| 22 | python demo.py</blockquote> |
| 23 | <p>There are also some sample mini applications available for you to run |
| 24 | and to play with as a learning exercise.</p> |
| 25 | <p>The next thing you should do is join the wxPython-users maillist where |
| 26 | you can interact with a community of other users and developers who |
| 27 | are willing to help you learn, answer questions and solve problems. |
| 28 | To join the mail list just go to this web page and follow the |
| 29 | instructions there:</p> |
| 30 | <blockquote> |
| 31 | <a class="reference" href="http://wxpython.org/maillist.php">http://wxpython.org/maillist.php</a></blockquote> |
| 32 | <p>There is also a good set of class reference documentation available |
| 33 | for wxPython, but currently it is geared for the C++ user. This may |
| 34 | be a little daunting at first, but with a little practice you'll |
| 35 | easily be able to "mentally translate" from the C++ shown into Python. |
| 36 | (See <a class="reference" href="http://wiki.wxpython.org/index.cgi/C_2b_2bGuideForwxPythoneers">http://wiki.wxpython.org/index.cgi/C_2b_2bGuideForwxPythoneers</a> |
| 37 | for a little help on this process.) Not all classes documented are |
| 38 | available in Python, but most of the GUI related classes are.</p> |
