4 Welcome to the wonderful world of wxPython!

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 send an email message to the following
23 address from the account you want to receive the mail messages from
24 the list:
25
26 wxPython-users-subscribe@lists.wxwindows.org
27
28 There is also a good set of class reference documentation available
29 for wxPython, but currently it is geared for the C++ user. This may
30 be a little daunting at first, but with a little practice you'll
31 easily be able to "translate" from the C++ shown there to Python. Not
32 all classes documented are available in Python, but most of the GUI
33 related classes are.
