10 wxPython is a blending of the wxWidgets GUI classes and the
15 So what is Python? Go to
17 but in a nutshell Python is an interpreted,
18 interactive, object-oriented programming language. It is often
25 C++. Python is also usable as an extension language for applications
28 Python is copyrighted but freely usable and distributable, even for
33 wxPython is a Python package that can be imported at runtime that
38 possible. This means that there is a wxFrame class in wxPython that
42 wxPython is very versatile. It can be used to create standalone GUI
43 applications, or in situations where Python is embedded in a C++
46 Currently wxPython is available for Win32 platforms and the GTK
60 Another good thing to use wxPython for is quick prototyping of your

75 Tkinter is the de facto standard GUI for Python. It is available
77 Well because Tkinter is just a wrapper around Tcl's GUI toolkit, Tk.
80 The upside is that Tk is a pretty versatile toolkit. It can be made
81 to do a lot of things in a lot of different environments. It is fairly
85 The downside is Tcl. When using Tkinter you actually have two
87 Tcl interpreter for the GUI. Since the guts of Tcl is mostly about
88 string processing, it is fairly slow as well. (Not too bad on a fast

96 Tkinter is a pretty low-level toolkit. You have to do a lot of work

105 experience with MFC and the Win32 API. It is obviously not compatible
106 with other platforms and toolkits. PythonWin is organized as separate

230 that the first argument to the event helpers is always the window that
235 \item There is an {\tt OnCloseWindow} method at line 34 but no call to

468 Since wxPython is a blending of multiple technologies, help comes from
471 various sources of help, but probably the best source is the
