| 496 | Python is an interpreted, interactive, object-oriented programming |

| 499 | <p> Python combines remarkable power with very clear syntax. It has |
| 500 | modules, classes, exceptions, very high level dynamic data types, and |
| 501 | dynamic typing. There are interfaces to many system calls and |
| 502 | libraries, and new built-in modules are easily written in C or |
| 503 | C++. Python is also usable as an extension language for applications |
| 504 | that need a programmable interface. <p> |
| 505 | |
| 506 | <h2>wxWindows</h2> |
| 507 | |
| 508 | wxWindows is a free C++ framework designed to make cross-platform |
| 509 | programming child's play. Well, almost. wxWindows 2 supports Windows |
| 510 | 3.1/95/98/NT, Unix with GTK/Motif/Lesstif, with a Mac version |
| 511 | underway. Other ports are under consideration. <p> |
| 512 | |
| 513 | wxWindows is a set of libraries that allows C++ applications to |
| 514 | compile and run on several different types of computers, with minimal |
| 515 | source code changes. There is one library per supported GUI (such as |
| 516 | Motif, or Windows). As well as providing a common API (Application |
| 517 | Programming Interface) for GUI functionality, it provides |
| 518 | functionality for accessing some commonly-used operating system |
| 519 | facilities, such as copying or deleting files. wxWindows is a |
| 520 | 'framework' in the sense that it provides a lot of built-in |
| 521 | functionality, which the application can use or replace as required, |
| 522 | thus saving a great deal of coding effort. Basic data structures such |
| 523 | as strings, linked lists and hash tables are also supported. |
| 524 | |
| 525 | <p> |
| 526 | <h2>wxPython</h2> |
| 527 | |
| 528 | wxPython is a Python extension module that encapsulates the wxWindows |
| 529 | GUI classes. Currently it is only available for the Win32 and GTK |
| 530 | ports of wxWindows, but as soon as the other ports are brought up to |
| 531 | the same level as Win32 and GTK, it should be fairly trivial to |
| 532 | enable wxPython to be used with the new GUI. |
| 533 | |
| 534 | <p> |
| 535 | |
| 536 | The wxPython extension module attempts to mirror the class heiarchy |
| 537 | of wxWindows as closely as possible. This means that there is a |
| 538 | wxFrame class in wxPython that looks, smells, tastes and acts almost |
| 539 | the same as the wxFrame class in the C++ version. Unfortunately, |
| 540 | because of differences in the languages, wxPython doesn't match |
| 541 | wxWindows exactly, but the differences should be easy to absorb |
| 542 | because they are natural to Python. For example, some methods that |
| 543 | return multiple values via argument pointers in C++ will return a |
| 544 | tuple of values in Python. |
| 545 | |
| 546 | <p> |
| 547 | |
| 548 | There is still much to be done for wxPython, many classes still need |
| 549 | to be mirrored. Also, wxWindows is still somewhat of a moving target |
| 550 | so it is a bit of an effort just keeping wxPython up to date. On the |
| 551 | other hand, there are enough of the core classes completed that |
| 552 | useful applications can be written. |
| 553 | |
| 554 | <p> |
| 555 | |
| 556 | wxPython is close enough to the C++ version that the majority of |
| 557 | the wxPython documentation is actually just notes attached to the C++ |
| 558 | documents that describe the places where wxPython is different. There |
| 559 | is also a series of sample programs included, and a series of |
| 560 | documentation pages that assist the programmer in getting started |
| 561 | with wxPython. |
