| 4 | Welcome to the wonderful world of wxPython! |
| 5 | |
| 6 | So where do you go from here? The best thing to do is to run the demo |
| 7 | and use its source code to help you learn how to use wxPython. Most |
| 8 | of the classes available are demonstrated there, and you can view the |
| 9 | sources directly in the demo so it is designed to help you learn. If |
| 10 | you are on Windows or OS X then you can run the demo just by double |
| 11 | clicking it's icon. If you are on Linux/Unix then change to the |
| 12 | directory containing the demo and type: |
| 13 | |
| 14 | python demo.py |
| 15 | |
| 16 | There are also some sample mini applications available for you to run |
| 17 | and to play with as a learning exercise. |
| 18 | |
| 19 | The next thing you should do is join the wxPython-users maillist where |
| 20 | you can interact with a community of other users and developers who |
| 21 | are willing to help you learn, answer questions and solve problems. |
| 22 | To join the mail list just go to this web page and follow the |
| 23 | instructions there: |
| 24 | |
| 25 | http://wxpython.org/maillist.php |
| 26 | |
| 27 | There is also a good set of class reference documentation available |
| 28 | for wxPython, but currently it is geared for the C++ user. This may |
| 29 | be a little daunting at first, but with a little practice you'll |
| 30 | easily be able to "mentally translate" from the C++ shown into Python. |
| 31 | (See http://wiki.wxpython.org/index.cgi/C_2b_2bGuideForwxPythoneers |
| 32 | for a little help on this process.) Not all classes documented are |
| 33 | available in Python, but most of the GUI related classes are. |
