Do you mind explaining "why" you find it *buttugly*? I am asking just
out of curiosity, obviously. I am so biased towards wxPython that I
won't make any comment on this thread in particular, but I am curious
to know why some people find it "ugly" or "bad" or whatever. It has
its own bugs and missing features, of course, but it is one of the
major GUI player in the arena, together with PyQt and PyGTK.
Perhaps he meant the code, and not the results?
Maybe. But I remember a nice quote made in the past by Roger Binns (4
years ago):
"""
The other thing I failed to mention is that the wxPython API isn't very
Pythonic. (This doesn't matter to people like me who are used to GUI
programming - the wxPython API is very much in the normal style for GUI
APIs.)
"""
Whether the wxPython style is "Pythonic" or not (whatever "Pythonic"
means), this is a one-degree-above-insignificant issue for me. What I
care is the eye pleasing look of my apps and how easy it is to code
with a GUI framework. wxPython gives me both, the rest is just
academic discussion.
But I don't want to start another GUI war, let's save the bandwidth...
there are plenty of GUI frameworks around, every newbie in the GUI
world should try them and stick with the one he/she feels more
confortable with.

There was a WX wrapper project named WAX ( http://zephyrfalcon.org/
waxapi/wx._core.Image. html ) that was trying to create a more pythonic
API for WX that I have appreciated. But most people was not
interested, so once the original developer has lost interest, no one
else has improved the code, so the project has died...

Don't worry, I love wxPython with an almost disturbing intensity! ;) This thread has been closed and replies have been disabled. Please start a new discussion. Similar topics | |

Would you recommend to use the wx package of wxPython?
From the documentation:
Provides a way to drop the wx prefix from wxPython objects by
dynamically loading and renaming objects from the real wxPython
package. This is the first phase of a transition to a new style
of using wxPython. For example:

See: http://www.wxpython.org/quotes.php. especially:
"wxPython is the best and most mature cross-platform GUI toolkit,
given a number of constraints. The only reason wxPython isn't the
standard Python GUI toolkit is that Tkinter was there first." - Guido
van Rossum
Guess, that answers my question, but isn't "Tkinter was there first" a
very bad answer? :) It is kinda ugly too, so I wonder why it can't be
replaced? Or maybe another GUI...

Hi all,
I made a small dialog in WxPython. I can run the python script with a
double-click or through command line, and everything goes fine (dialog
appears, which means that wx module has been found).
Then, I decided to write a C program (under Windows, with Cygwin) that
will read my script (through PyRun_SimpleFile() function) and run it.
But the system doesn't find the wx module to import...

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
Here is my compilation command:

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
