I've looked high and low for a book on wxPython, and have not found anything
yet.
I HAVE, however, had success by using the examples in the python demo (which
while not complete, is eons better than some of the documentation lack of
other scripting languages.) coupled with the documentation on wxWindows.org.
It's amazing to me how many books I can find on obscure and unworthy
languages;,yet wxWindows, a surprisingly sophisticated gui library with a
lot of no-nonsense stuff I wish other languages had thought of, has little
in the way of info. I hope it catches on, and that some solid reference
books get written. I'd buy 'em, anyway.
I too am fairly new to GUI programming, but more so Python; the wxDemo has
provided a basic gist, the wxWindows.org site gives me at least a help set
that defines what I can do / use, and then I learned BOA Constructor which
is an excellent IDE that has a nice class view to show all the available
properties, methods, etc. for all the built-in wxPython types.
HTH.

Subject: [wxPython-users] Basics ...
I am a novice in GUI programming though not necessarily a novice in
python. Thus far, I have been trying to follow the examples in the
wxWindows hand book and in the wxPython demo. Unfortunately, this didn't
get me much further and has left me with a couple of questions:
Is there truly no text book on wxPython? I understand Robin Dunn and some
other folks were working on one. I have searched the net and couldn't find
one.
The wxPython tutorial lists a simple wxFrame example which I was able to
replicate. How can I glue more stuff into that example? How can I add a
Control
element, for e.g. the wxTextCtrl class? The wxPython Demo features an
extensive example on the wxTextCtrl Class. How will the runTest function or
the main section of such a program composing of both the wxFrame and
wxTextCtrl classes look like. I'll grateful if anyone can find time to
forward me an
example.
Thanks in anticipation,
