wxPython tutorial?

[Jive Dadson]

I'm trying (without conspicuous success) to start learning
wxPython. Sooo... I opened the doc page wxPythonManual. html#wxpython-overview.
The very first example does not work. Try it. I find much of what follows
to be incomprehensibl e. Is there a good tutorial for novices?

Here's the example that does not work. ("No module named frame")


import wx

from frame import Frame

class App(wx.App):
"""Applicat ion class."""

def OnInit(self):
self.frame = Frame()
self.frame.Show ()
self.SetTopWind ow(self.frame)
return True

def main():
app = App()
app.MainLoop()

if __name__ == '__main__':
main()

Weird. I've never seen imports like that with wxPython before. Try the
following code, instead. Notice that I changed three things: I replaced
the imports, changed "wx.App" and "Frame" to "wxApp" and "wxFrame", and
changed the constructor args for the frame.

from wxPython.wx import *

class App(wxApp):
def OnInit(self):
self.frame = wxFrame(NULL, -1, "MyApp Frame")
self.frame.Show ()
self.SetTopWind ow(self.frame)
return True

def main():
app = App()
app.MainLoop()

if __name__ == '__main__':
main()



I'm not too sure about that tutorial you mentioned, but you can try
these, also:

<http://wxpython.org/tut-part1.php> Starts off almost identical to what
you had (except that this one woks). It's a short tutorial, though.

While using "import wx" is cleaner the turorials uses often
"from wxpython import * " Thus function and class names are
changed.

change:
self.frame = Frame()
self.frame = wx.Frame()

Take a look at the wiki on the wxPython site.

It keeps the namespace clear. see:

Probably a bit out-of-date, not using the wx namespace (wxFrame).

Here's a good tutorial: http://wxpython.org/tutorial.php

Which is from http://wiki.wxpython.org/index.cgi/H...arn_20wxPython

All I needed, and much better than TKinter, although I've since moved onto PyQt.

Oh, thanks. I'm a little suprised I haven't heard of this before. I must
be living under a rock. It's nice, though. I like it.

/me runs off to fix my code.
