Dockable windows in wxpython

Hello,

I need to create a GUI that contains nested windows inside the main
window of the application. I am looking at a way to have dockable
nested windows.

I looked into AUI and it seems pretty good. I was just wondering if
you guys know alternatives that are either part of wxpython or an
extension to it. I want to compare libraries and see what fits best
for my app.

Cheers,
David

Hi,
There is a classical MDI in wxpython (check MDIWindows in the demo),
but this is far less powerful than aui,
Just note, that there is the older common wx version:
wx.aui

and the new python implementation from Andrea Gavana: (in the latest
wxPython 2.8.10.1)
wx.lib.agw.aui
with some behaviour changes and quite many enhancements and a much
more active development and support.

hth,
Vlasta

Also note that Andrea's version is pure python and not SWIGG'ed C++
(i.e. not wrapped!).
