\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 absolutely have to eek more performance out of an algorithm, and even

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
-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 repetitive 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.
-
-I added a few minor features to SWIG to control some of the code
-generation. If you want to play around with this you will need to get
-a recent version of SWIG from their CVS or from a daily build. See
-\urlref{http://www.swig.org/}{http://www.swig.org/} for details.
-
-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} variable for the build utility (see
-below).
-
-\begin{enumerate}\itemsep=0pt
-\item Build wxWindows as described in its BuildCVS.txt file. For Unix
-systems I run configure with these flags:
-
-\begin{verbatim}
- --with-gtk
- --with-libjpeg
- --without-odbc
- --enable-unicode=no
- --enable-threads=yes
- --enable-socket=yes
- --enable-static=no
- --enable-shared=yes
- --disable-std_iostreams
-\end{verbatim}
-
-You can use whatever flags you want, but I know these work.
-
-For Win32 systems I use Visual C++ 6.0, but 5.0 should work also. The
-build utility currently does not support any other Win32 compilers.
-\item At this point you may want to make an alias or symlink, script,
-batch file, whatever on the PATH that invokes {\tt \$(WXWIN)/utils/wxPython/distrib/build.py} to
-help simplify matters somewhat. For example, on my Win32 system I have a file named
- {\tt build}.bat in a directory on the PATH that contains:
-
-{\tt python \%WXWIN/utils/wxPython/distrib/build.py \%1 \%2 \%3 \%4 \%5 \%6}
-\item Change into the {\tt \$(WXWIN)/utils/wxPython/src} directory.
-\item Type "{\tt build -b}" to build wxPython and "{\tt build -i}" to
-install it, or "{\tt build -bi}" to do both steps at once.
-
-The build.py script actually generates a Makefile based on what it
-finds on your system and information found in the build.cfg file.
-If you have troubles building or you want it built or installed in
-a different way, take a look at the docstring in build.py. You are
-able to override many configuration options in a file named
-build.local.
-\item To build and install the add-on modules, change to the appropriate
-directory under {\tt \$(WXWIN)/utils/wxPython/modules} and run the build
-utility again.
-\item Change to the {\tt \$(WXWIN)/utils/wxPython/demo} directory.
-\item Try executing the demo program. For example:
-
-{\tt python demo.py}
-
-To run it without requiring a console on Win32, you can use the
-{\tt pythonw.exe} version of Python either from the command line or from a
-shortcut.
