py
i need to design a GUI for my python app. i heard of wxWidgets and was
going to look into that, but then I saw wxPython. Why would I use
wxPython over wxWidgets?

thanks

wxPython is the Python porting of wxWidgets.

wxPython are the Python bindings to wxWidgets which is a C++ library.

Don't want to hijack the thread, but since it's answered already:
Has wxWidgets finally arrived at migrating to GTK2? ^^
If so, I might consider using wxPython instead of pygtk for that small
application I am currently writing. This would help portability a lot
(since IIRC, wxWidgets has been designed to work on Windows, too).

The last time I checked, wxWidgets was GTK1, although GTK2 has had been
long around already. Because of this, and the nasty feeling that I was
programming MFC when working with the wxWidgets somewhat drove me away
from it with a big "Yuck!", but if it's based on GTK2 now I might risk
another glimpse.

Thanks,
Matthias

I've decided to learn wxPython, and I'm afraid I just don't grok the whole "id" thing where you have to pull unique integers out of your, er, the air and then use those to refer to objects: From whe wxPython wiki examples: self.button =wxButton(self, 10, "Save", wxPoint(200, 325)) EVT_BUTTON(self, 10, self.OnClick)

Can anybody recommend a good book on wxPython? Are there any books on wxPython? I've been trying to learn wxPython and/or wax for a few weeks, and I'm just not getting it. wxWindows seems to be more low-level than the other GUI toolkits I've used (Tk, GTK, and Trestle), and there are all sorts exposed details in wxWindows/wxPython that I find weird.

See: http://www.wxpython.org/quotes.php. especially: "wxPython is the best and most mature cross-platform GUI toolkit, given a number of constraints.

Hi all, I'm pretty new to (wx)Python so plz. don't shoot me if I've missed something obvious ;).

I have an application written in C++ that uses wxWidgets for GUI. I use embedded Python for scripting inside of this application. I want to use wxPython to add GUI to my scripts - because my C++ App uses wxWidgets I thought it to be easy. The problem is that wxPython knows nothing about wxApp/wxFrame objects created in my C++ application, and insists (by giving me asserts) that I create another wxApp object for wxPython inside my scripts....
