 654  <h2>Python</h2>
 655
 656  Python is an interpreted, interactive, object-oriented programming
 657  language often compared to Tcl, Perl, Scheme, or Java.
 658
 659  <p> Python combines remarkable power with very clear syntax. It has
 660  modules, classes, exceptions, very high level dynamic data types, and
 661  dynamic typing.  There are interfaces to many system calls and
 662  libraries, and new built-in modules are easily written in C or
 663  C++. Python is also usable as an extension language for applications
 664  that need a programmable interface.  <p>
 665
 666  <h2>wxWindows</h2>
 667
 668  wxWindows is a free C++ framework designed to make cross-platform
 669  programming child's play. Well, almost. wxWindows 2 supports Windows
 670  3.1/95/98/NT, Unix with GTK/Motif/Lesstif, with a Mac version
 671  underway. Other ports are under consideration.  <p>
 672
 673  wxWindows is a set of libraries that allows C++ applications to
 674  compile and run on several different types of computers, with minimal
 675  source code changes.  There is one library per supported GUI (such as
 676  Motif, or Windows). As well as providing a common API (Application
 677  Programming Interface) for GUI functionality, it provides
 678  functionality for accessing some commonly-used operating system
 679  facilities, such as copying or deleting files. wxWindows is a
 680  'framework' in the sense that it provides a lot of built-in
 681  functionality, which the application can use or replace as required,
 682  thus saving a great deal of coding effort. Basic data structures such
 683  as strings, linked lists and hash tables are also supported.
 684
 685  <p>
 686  <h2>wxPython</h2>
 687
 688  wxPython is a Python extension module that encapsulates the wxWindows
 689  GUI classes. Currently it is only available for the Win32 and GTK
 690  ports of wxWindows, but as soon as the other ports are brought up to
 691  the same level as Win32 and GTK, it should be fairly trivial to
 692  enable wxPython to be used with the new GUI.
 693
 694  <p>
 695
 696  The wxPython extension module attempts to mirror the class heiarchy
 697  of wxWindows as closely as possible. This means that there is a
 698  wxFrame class in wxPython that looks, smells, tastes and acts almost
 699  the same as the wxFrame class in the C++ version. Unfortunately,
 700  because of differences in the languages, wxPython doesn't match
 701  wxWindows exactly, but the differences should be easy to absorb
 702  because they are natural to Python. For example, some methods that
 703  return multiple values via argument pointers in C++ will return a
 704  tuple of values in Python.
 705
 706  <p>
 707
 708  There is still much to be done for wxPython, many classes still need
 709  to be mirrored. Also, wxWindows is still somewhat of a moving target
 710  so it is a bit of an effort just keeping wxPython up to date. On the
 711  other hand, there are enough of the core classes completed that
 712  useful applications can be written.
 713
 714  <p>
 715
 716  wxPython is close enough to the C++ version that the majority of
 717  the wxPython documentation is actually just notes attached to the C++
 718  documents that describe the places where wxPython is different. There
 719  is also a series of sample programs included, and a series of
 720  documentation pages that assist the programmer in getting started
 721  with wxPython.
