wxPython in Action

wxPython is a Python extension library for developing cross platform GUI. It is an alternative to other GUI development toolkits like PyQt, Tkinter etc. This repostiory contains a variety of code examples for developing different GUI elements with wxPython.

Usage

Below simple module demonstrantes creation of two main objects in wxPython which are the main window object and the application object, followed by passing the control to the event-driven system by calling MainLoop() which manages the user-interactive part of the program.

#!/usr/bin/env python
import wx

class App(wx.App):
    def OnInit(self):
        frame = wx.Frame(parent=None, title='Bare')
        frame.Show()
        return True

app = App()
app.MainLoop()
