Hello all,
I’m starting to get more requests from clients to do some small to medium-sized Python projects. My skill level with Python has been small but I now have a reason to bring my skill level up. I’ve installed wxPython on my Linux laptop but I can’t seem to figure out how to launch it. Is it possible that it is named something other than wxPython? I’ve researched this issue for a couple of days online but just haven’t found an answer.
Thanks for any help you can give.

Hello,
wxPython is a library for use in Python scripts. So you need a python scrip that uses it.
i.e) simple hello.py script using wxPython
import wx # ← wxPython
app = wx.App(False)
wx.MessageBox(“Hello from wxPython” “Hello World”)
app.MainLoop()
You can then run this from the command line: python hello.py

Also note: in Unix, you can make text files (scripts) executable. You
specify the interpreter to use on the first (bang) line. Thus, many
python scripts will start with
#!/usr/bin/env python
Which tells your shell to use the '/usr/bin/env' program to find the
'python' executable (in your PATH) and run it with this script file as
input.
Example
----- file: foo
#!/usr/bin/env python
print 'Hello from Python'
----- end: foo
% chmod +x foo
% ./foo
Hello from Python
For reference: you can do a similar thing in recent versions of
windows, with batch files:
------ file: foo.bat
@setlocal enableextensions & python -x %~f0 & goto :EOF
print 'The rest of his file is executable Python code!'
----- end: foo.bat
c:\> foo
The rest of his file is executable Python code!
Foo.bat could, of course, also import and use wx.

VERY COOL! I've been looking for that for years! I had no idea.
Thanks,

Surely the much easier and cleaner solution is this:
set PATHEXT=%PATHEXT%;.py;.pyw
That adds py and pyw to the list of extensions that will be searched
when looking for an executable. So, if you have a file called "foo.py"
in your path, you can type:
foo
and it will be executed using the default handler for .py files, which
is the Python interpreter.
The foo.bat solution was created for Windows 9X, which did not support
PATHEXT.

Yes, that's actually what I use. I seem to remember that there are
redirection issues with batch files, but the details escape me at the
moment.
