+\section{What is wxPython?}\label{wxpwhat}
+
+wxPython is a blending of the wxWindows GUI classes and the
+\urlref{Python}{http://www.python.org/} programming language.
+
+\wxheading{Python}
+
+So what is Python? Go to
+\urlref{http://www.python.org}{http://www.python.org}
+to learn more, but in a nutshell Python is an interpreted,
+interactive, object-oriented programming language. It is often
+compared to Tcl, Perl, Scheme or Java.
+
+Python combines remarkable power with very clear syntax. It has
+modules, classes, exceptions, very high level dynamic data types, and
+dynamic typing. There are interfaces to many system calls and
+libraries, and new built-in modules are easily written in C or
+C++. Python is also usable as an extension language for applications
+that need a programmable interface.
+
+Python is copyrighted but freely usable and distributable, even for
+commercial use.
+
+\wxheading{wxPython}
+
+wxPython is a Python package that can be imported at runtime that
+includes a collection of Python modules and an extension module
+(native code). It provides a series of Python classes that mirror (or
+shadow) many of the wxWindows GUI classes. This extension module
+attempts to mirror the class heiarchy of wxWindows as closely as
+possble. This means that there is a wxFrame class in wxPython that
+looks, smells, tastes and acts almost the same as the wxFrame class in
+the C++ version.
+
+wxPython is very versitile. It can be used to create standalone GUI
+applications, or in situations where Python is embedded in a C++
+application as an internal scripting or macro language.
+
+Currently wxPython is available for Win32 platforms and the GTK
+toolkit (wxGTK) on most *nix/X-windows platforms. The effort to
+enable wxPython for wxMotif will begin shortly. See \helpref{Building
+Python}{wxpbuild} for details about getting wxPython working for you.
+
+
+%----------------------------------------------------------------------
+\section{Why use wxPython?}\label{wxpwhy}
+
+
+So why would you want to use wxPython over just C++ and wxWindows?
+Personally I prefer using Python for everything. I only use C++ when
+I absolutly have to eek more performance out of an algorithm, and even
+then I ususally code it as an extension module and leave the majority
+of the program in Python.
+
+Another good thing to use wxPython for is quick prototyping of your
+wxWindows apps. With C++ you have to continuously go though the
+edit-compile-link-run cycle, which can be quite time comsuming. With
+Python it is only an edit-run cycle. You can easily build an
+application in a few hours with Python that would normally take a few
+days or longer with C++. Converting a wxPython app to a C++/wxWindows app
+should be a straight forward task.
+
+
+%----------------------------------------------------------------------
+\section{Other Python GUIs}\label{wxpother}
+
+There are other GUI solutions out there for Python.
+
+\wxheading{Tkinter}
+
+Tkinter is the defacto standard GUI for Python. It is available
+on nearly every platform that Python and Tcl/TK are. Why Tcl/Tk?
+Well because Tkinter is just a wrapper around Tcl's GUI toolkit, Tk.
+This has its upsides and its downsides...
+
+The upside is that Tk is a pretty veristile toolkit. It can be made
+to do a lot of things in a lot of different environments. It is fairly
+easy to create new widgets and use them interchangably in your
+programs.
+
+The downside is Tcl. When using Tkinter you actually have two
+separate language interpreters running, the Python interpreter and the
+Tcl interpreter for the GUI. Since the guts of Tcl is mostly about
+string processing, it is fairly slow as well. (Not too bad on a fast
+Pentium II, but you really notice the difference on slower machines.)
+
+It wasn't until the lastest version of Tcl/Tk that native Look and
+Feel's were possible on non-Motif platforms. This is because Tk
+usually implements it's own widgets (controls) even when there are
+native controls available.
+
+Tkinter is a pretty low-level toolkit. You have to do a lot of work
+(verbose program code) to do things that would be much simpler with a higher
+level of abstraction.
+
+\wxheading{PythonWin}
+
+PythonWin is an add-on package for Python for the Win32 platform. It
+includes wrappers for MFC as well as much of the win32 API. Because
+of its foundation, it is very familiar for programmers who have
+experience with MFC and the Win32 API. It is obviously not compatible
+with other platforms and toolkits. PythonWin is organized as separate
+packages and modules so you can use the pieces you need without having
+to use the GUI portions.
+
+\wxheading{Others}
+
+There are quite a few other GUI modules available for Python, some in
+active use, some that havn't been updated for ages. Most are simple
+wrappers around some C or C++ toolkit or another, and most are not
+cross-platform compatible. See \urlref{this
+link}{http://www.python.org/download/Contributed.html\#Graphics}
+for a listing of a few of them.
+
+
+%----------------------------------------------------------------------
+\section{Building wxPython}\label{wxpbuild}
+
+I used SWIG (\urlref{http://www.swig.org}{http://www.swig.org}) to
+create the source code for the extension module. This enabled me to
+only have to deal with a small amount of code and only have to bother
+with the exceptional issues. SWIG takes care of the rest and
+generates all the repetative code for me. You don't need SWIG to
+build the extension module as all the generated C++ code is included
+under the src directory. If you try to build wxPython and get errors
+because SWIG is missing, then simply touch the .cpp and .py files so
+make won't attempt to build them from the .i files.
+
+I added a few minor features to SWIG to control some of the code
+generation. If you want to play around with this the patches are in
+wxPython/SWIG.patches and they should be applied to the 1.1p5 version
+of SWIG. These new patches are documented at
+\urlref{this site}{http://starship.skyport.net/crew/robind/python/\#swig},
+and they should also end up in the 1.2 version of SWIG.
+
+wxPython is organized as a Python package. This means that the
+directory containing the results of the build process should be a
+subdirectory of a directory on the \tt{PYTHONPATH}, (and preferably
+should be named wxPython.) You can control where the build process
+will dump wxPython by setting the \tt{TARGETDIR} makefile variable.
+The default is \tt{\$(WXWIN)/utils/wxPython}. If you leave it here
+then you should add \tt{\$(WXWIN)/utils} to your \tt{PYTHONPATH}.
+However, you may prefer to use something that is already on your
+\tt{PYTHONPATH}, such as the \tt{site-packages} directory on Unix
+ systems.
+
+
+\wxheading{Win32}
+
+These instructions assume that you have Microsoft Visual C++ 5.0 or
+6.0, that you have installed the command-line tools, and that the
+appropriate environment variables are set for these tools. You should
+also have Python 1.5.1 installed, and wxWindows installed and built as
+specified below.
+
+\begin{enumerate}\itemsep=0pt
+\item Build wxWindows with \tt{wxUSE_RESOURCE_LOADING_IN_MSW} set to 1 in
+\tt{include/wx/msw/setup.h} so icons can be loaded dynamically. While
+there, make sure \tt{wxUSE_OWNER_DRAWN} is also set to 1.
+
+\item Change into the \tt{\$(WXWIN)/utils/wxPython/src} directory.
+
+\item Edit makefile.vc and specify where your python installation is at.
+You may also want to fiddle with the \tt{TARGETDIR} variable as described
+above.
+
+\item Run \tt{nmake -f makefile.vc}
+
+\item If it builds successfully, congratulations! Move on to the next
+step. If not then you can try mailing the wxwin-developers list for
+help. Also, I will always have a pre-built win32 version of this extension module at
+\urlref{http://alldunn.com/wxPython}{http://alldunn.com/wxPython}.
+
+\item Change to the \tt{\$(WXWIN)/utils/wxPython/tests} directory.
+
+\item Try executing the test programs. Note that some of these print
+diagnositc or test info to standard output, so they will require the
+console version of python. For example:
+
+ \tt{python test1.py}
+
+To run them without requiring a console, you can use the \tt{pythonw.exe}
+version of Python either from the command line or from a shortcut.
+
+\end{enumerate}
+
+
+\wxheading{Unix}
+
+These directions assume that you have already successfully built
+wxWindows for GTK, and installed Python 1.5.1. If you build Python
+yourself, you will get everything installed that you need simply by
+doing \bftt{make install}. If you get Python from an RPM or other
+pre-packaged source then there will probably be a separate package
+with the development libraries, etc. that you will need to install.
+
+
+\begin{enumerate}\itemsep=0pt
+\item Change into the \tt{\$(WXWIN)/utils/wxPython/src} directory.
+
+\item Edit \tt{Setup.in} and ensure that the flags, directories, and toolkit
+options are correct, (hopefully this will be done by \tt{configure}
+soon.) See the above commentary about \tt{TARGETDIR}. There are a
+few sample Setup.in.[platform] files provided.
+
+\item Run this command to generate a makefile:
+
+ \tt{make -f Makefile.pre.in boot}
+
+\item Once you have the \tt{Makefile}, run \bftt{make} to build and then
+\bftt{make install} to install the wxPython extension module.
+
+\item Change to the \tt{\$(WXWIN)/utils/wxPython/tests} directory.
+
+\item Try executing the test programs. For example:
+
+ \tt{python test1.py}
+
+\end{enumerate}
+
+
+

+\section{Using wxPython}\label{wxpusing}
+
+\wxheading{First things first...}
+
+I'm not going to try and teach the Python language here. You can do
+that at the \urlref{Python Tutorial}{http://www.python.org/doc/tut/tut.html}.
+I'm also going to assume that you know a bit about wxWindows already,
+enough to notice the similarities in the classes used.
+
+Take a look at the following wxPython program. You can find a similar
+program in the \tt{wxPython/tests} directory, named \tt{test7.py}. If your
+Python and wxPython are properly installed, you should be able to run
+it by issuing this command:
+
+\begin{indented}{1cm}

+\end{verbatim}
+\hrule
+
+\wxheading{Things to notice:}\begin{enumerate}\itemsep=0pt
+\item At line 2 the wxPython classes, constants, and etc. are imported
+into the current module's namespace. If you prefer to reduce
+namespace polution you can use "\tt{from wxPython import wx}" and
+then access all the wxPython identifiers through the wx module, for
+example, "\tt{wx.wxFrame}".
+
+\item At line 13 the frame's sizing and moving events are connected to
+methods of the class. These helper functions are intended to be like
+the event table macros that wxWindows employs. But since static event
+tables are impossible with wxPython, we use helpers that are named the
+same to dynamically build the table. The only real difference is
+that the first arguemnt to the event helpers is always the window that
+the event table entry should be added to.
+
+\item Notice the use of \tt{wxDLG_PNT} and \tt{wxDLG_SZE} in lines 19
+- 29 to convert from dialog units to pixels. These helpers are unique
+to wxPython since Python can't do method overloading like C++.
+
+\item There is an \tt{OnCloseWindow} method at line 34 but no call to
+EVT_CLOSE to attach the event to the method. Does it really get
+called? The answer is, yes it does. This is because many of the
+\em{standard} events are attached to windows that have the associated
+\em{standard} method names. I have tried to follow the lead of the
+C++ classes in this area to determine what is \em{standard} but since
+that changes from time to time I can make no guarentees, nor will it
+be fully documented. When in doubt, use an EVT_*** function.
+
+\item At lines 17 to 21 notice that there are no saved references to
+the panel or the static text items that are created. Those of you
+who know Python might be wondering what happens when Python deletes
+these objects when they go out of scope. Do they disappear from the GUI? They
+don't. Remember that in wxPython the Python objects are just shadows of the
+coresponding C++ objects. Once the C++ windows and controls are
+attached to their parents, the parents manage them and delete them
+when necessary. For this reason, most wxPython objects do not need to
+have a __del__ method that explicitly causes the C++ object to be
+deleted. If you ever have the need to forcibly delete a window, use
+the Destroy() method as shown on line 36.
+
+\item Just like wxWindows in C++, wxPython apps need to create a class
+derived from \tt{wxApp} (line 56) that implements a method named
+\tt{OnInit}, (line 59.) This method should create the application's
+main window (line 62) and use \tt{wxApp.SetTopWindow()} (line 66) to
+inform wxWindows about it.
+
+\item And finally, at line 72 an instance of the application class is
+created. At this point wxPython finishes initializing itself, and calls
+the \tt{OnInit} method to get things started. (The zero parameter here is
+a flag for functionality that isn't quite implemented yet. Just
+ignore it for now.) The call to \tt{MainLoop} at line 73 starts the event
+loop which continues until the application terminates or all the top
+level windows are closed.
+
+\end{enumerate}
+
+

+\section{Where to go for help}\label{wxphelp}
+
+Since wxPython is a blending of multiple technologies, help comes from
+multiple sources. See
+\urlref{http://alldunn.com/wxPython}{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
+
+\urlref{http://starship.python.net/mailman/listinfo/wxpython-users}{http://starship.python.net/mailman/listinfo/wxpython-users}
+
+Or you can send mail directly to the list using this address:
