There any way we could add tutorials to the wxPython demo? The demo
app is so accessible, and adding a tutorial section where people could
add demos that aren't single widget specific would be useful if its
not a problem doing so.
See the wxPython wiki, Zetcode and my blog for tutorials. I’m doing a series on creating simple applications with wxPython and then expanding on them. My first post in the series was on an Image Viewer application and I plan to write an add-on for that application that I’ll post about soon.

It's an interesting idea, although my first inclination is that web pages are a better media for tutorials. Maybe you could share some more of your thoughts about what this would look like and how it would work?

The wiki never helped me out much, whether its the layout or design or
the randomness of the code.
I guess I'd rather see more people actively adding to and modifying
the demo in order to:
- encourage people to modify the tutorials and expand on them.
- enforce coding standards - people would be more likely to modify
your code to conform then editing someone else's wiki page. This is a
big one for me since I can't stand copying in code to my app that
doesn't follow the wxPython conventions.
- People could add their own widgets they've created, others could
pick them up and polish them.. Basically encourage more participation
in contributing to wxPython.
