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.
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
