   1 wxPython README
   2 ---------------
   3
   4 Welcome to the wonderful world of wxPython!
   5
   6 Once you have installed the wxPython extension module, you can try it
   7 out by going to the [install dir]\wxPython\demo directory and typing:
   8
   9     python demo.py
  10
  11 There are also some other sample files there for you to play with and
  12 learn from.
  13
  14 If you selected to install the documentation then point your browser
  15 to [install dir]\wxPython\docs\index.htm and you will then be looking
  16 at the docs for wxWindows.  For the most part you can use the C++ docs
  17 as most classes and methods are used identically.  Where there are
  18 differences they are documented with a "wxPython Note."
  19
  20 On Win32 systems the binary self-installer creates a program group on
  21 the Start Menu that contains a link to running the demo and a link to
  22 the help file.  To help you save disk space I'm now using Microsoft's
  23 HTML Help format.  If your system doesn't know what to do with the help
  24 file, you can install the HTML Help Viewer as part of IE 4+, NT
  25 Service Pack 4+, or the HTML Workshop at
  26
  27 http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/htmlhelp/html/hwMicrosoftHTMLHelpDownloads.asp
  28
  29 For some features, the latest common controls library from microsoft
  30 is required.  You can get this by installing IE 5.0 or Office 2000.
  31 You can also get it independently from here:

  34
  35 Windows 95 users may also need the WinSock 2.0 and OpenGL libraries.
  36 These can be found at these sites:

  45 Getting Help
  46 ------------
  47
  48 Since wxPython is a blending of multiple technologies, help comes from
  49 multiple sources.  See the http://wxPython.org/ for details on various
  50 sources of help, but probably the best source is the wxPython-users
  51 mail list.  You can view the archive or subscribe by going to
  52
  53        http://lists.wxwindows.org/mailman/listinfo/wxpython-users
  54
  55 Or you can send mail directly to the list using this address:
  56
  57        wxpython-users@lists.wxwindows.org
