-wxPython README
----------------
-
-Welcome to the wonderful world of wxPython!
-
-Now that you have installed the Win32 extension module, you can try it
-out by going to the [install dir]\wxPython\demo directory and typing:
-
- python test1.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."
-
-
-
-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://starship.python.net/mailman/listinfo/wxpython-users
-
-Or you can send mail directly to the list using this address:
-
- wxpython-users@starship.python.net

-What's new in 2.0b9
--------------------
-Bug fix for ListCtrl in test4.py (Was a missing file... DSM!)
-
-Bug fix for occassional GPF on Win32 systems upon termination of a
-wxPython application.
-
-Added wxListBox.GetSelections returning selections as a Tuple.
-
-Added a wxTreeItemData that is able to hold any Python object and be
-associated with items in a wxTreeCtrl. Added test pytree.py to show
-this feature off.
-
-Added wxSafeYield function.
-
-OpenGL Canvas can be optionally compiled in to wxPython.
-
-Awesome new Demo Framework for showing off wxPython and for learning
-how it all works.
-
-The pre-built Win32 version is no longer distributing the wxWindows
-DLL. It is statically linked with the wxWindows library instead.
-
-Added a couple missing items from the docs.
-
-Added wxImage, wxImageHandler, wxPNGHandler, wxJPEGHandler,
-wxGIFHandler and wxBMPHandler.
-
-Added new methods to wxTextCtrl.
-
-
-
-What's new in 2.0b8
--------------------
-Support for using Python threads in wxPython apps.
-
-Several missing methods from various classes.
-
-Various bug fixes.
-
-
-
-What's new in 2.0b7
--------------------
-Added DLG_PNT and DLG_SZE convienience methods to wxWindow class.
-
-Added missing constructor and other methods for wxMenuItem.
-
-
-
-What's new in 2.0b6
--------------------
-Just a quickie update to fix the self-installer to be compatible with
-Python 1.5.2b2's Registry settings.
-
-
-What's new in 2.0b5
--------------------
-Well obviously the numbering scheme has changed. I did this to
-reflect the fact that this truly is the second major revision of
-wxPython, (well the third actually if you count the one I did for
-wxWindows 1.68 and then threw away...) and also that it is associated
-with the 2.0 version of wxWindows.
-
-I have finally started documenting wxPython. There are several pages
-in the wxWindows documentation tree specifically about wxPython, and I
-have added notes within the class references about where and how wxPython
-diverges from wxWindows.
-
-Added wxWindow_FromHWND(hWnd) for wxMSW to construct a wxWindow from a
-window handle. If you can get the window handle into the python code,
-it should just work... More news on this later.
-
-Added wxImageList, wxToolTip.
-
-Re-enabled wxConfig.DeleteAll() since it is reportedly fixed for the
-wxRegConfig class.
-
-As usual, some bug fixes, tweaks, etc.
-
-
-
-What's new in 0.5.3
--------------------
-Added wxSashWindow, wxSashEvent, wxLayoutAlgorithm, etc.
-
-Various cleanup, tweaks, minor additions, etc. to maintain
-compatibility with the current wxWindows.
-
-
-
-What's new in 0.5.0
--------------------
-Changed the import semantics from "from wxPython import *" to "from
-wxPython.wx import *" This is for people who are worried about
-namespace pollution, they can use "from wxPython import wx" and then
-prefix all the wxPython identifiers with "wx."
-
-Added wxTaskbarIcon for wxMSW.
-
-Made the events work for wxGrid.
-
-Added wxConfig.
-
-Added wxMiniFrame for wxGTK.
-
-Changed many of the args and return values that were pointers to gdi
-objects to references to reflect changes in the wxWindows API.
-
-Other assorted fixes and additions.
-
-
-
-
-What's new in 0.4.2
--------------------
-
-wxPython on wxGTK works!!! Both dynamic and static on Linux and
-static on Solaris have been tested. Many thanks go to Harm
-<H.v.d.Heijden@phys.tue.nl> for his astute detective work on tracking
-down a nasty DECREF bug. Okay so I have to confess that it was just a
-DSM (Dumb Stupid Mistake) on my part but it was nasty none the less
-because the behavior was so different on different platforms.
-
-
-The dynamicly loaded module on Solaris is still segfaulting, so it
-must have been a different issue all along...
-
-
-
-What's New in 0.4
------------------
-
-1. Worked on wxGTK compatibility. It is partially working. On a
-Solaris/Sparc box wxPython is working but only when it is statically
-linked with the Python interpreter. When built as a dyamically loaded
-extension module, things start acting weirdly and it soon seg-faults.
-And on Linux both the statically linked and the dynamically linked
-version segfault shortly after starting up.
-
-2. Added Toolbar, StatusBar and SplitterWindow classes.
-
-3. Varioius bug fixes, enhancements, etc.
