+wxPython README
+---------------
+
+Welcome to the wonderful world of wxPython!
+
+Once you have installed the wxPython extension module, you can try it
+out by going to the [install dir]\wxPython\demo directory and typing:
+
+    python demo.py
+
+There are also some other sample files there for you to play with and
+learn from.
+
+If you selected to install the documentation then point your browser
+to [install dir]\wxPython\docs\index.htm and you will then be looking
+at the docs for wxWindows.  For the most part you can use the C++ docs
+as most classes and methods are used identically.  Where there are
+differences they are documented with a "wxPython Note."
+
+On Win32 systems the binary self-installer creates a program group on
+the Start Menu that contains a link to running the demo and a link to
+the help file.  To help you save disk space I'm now using Microsoft's
+HTML Help format.  If your system doesn't know what to do with the help
+file, you can install the HTML Help Viewer as part of IE 4+, NT
+Service Pack 4+, or the HTML Workshop at
+
+http://msdn.microsoft.com/workshop/author/htmlhelp/download.asp.
+
+For some features, the latest common controls library from microsoft
+is required.  You can get this by installing IE 5.0 or Office 2000.
+You can also get it independently from here:
+
+http://download.microsoft.com/download/platformsdk/Comctl32/5.80.2614.3600/W9XNT4/EN-US/50comupd.exe
+
+Windows 95 users may also need the WinSock 2.0 and OpenGL libraries.
+These can be found at these sites:
+
+
+http://www.microsoft.com/windows95/downloads/contents/wuadmintools/s_wunetworkingtools/w95sockets2/default.asp
+

+
+
+Getting Help
+------------
+
+Since wxPython is a blending of multiple technologies, help comes from
+multiple sources.  See the http://alldunn.com/wxPython for details on
+various sources of help, but probably the best source is the
+wxPython-users mail list.  You can view the archive or subscribe by
+going to
+
+       http://wxwindows.org/mailman/listinfo/wxpython-users
+
+Or you can send mail directly to the list using this address:
+
+       wxpython-users@wxwindows.org
+
+
