Hi!
I really need help to learn wxPython because I don't understand
anything in the wxWidgets manual, and I also don't know how to convert
C++ to Python.
Help needed

Hi!
I really need help to learn wxPython because I don't understand
anything in the wxWidgets manual,
Sticking with wxWidgets for a moment: Have you tried reading the
wxWidgets Tutorial or FAQ? They might help to get you started.
and I also don't know how to convert C++ to Python.
Why do you ask about that (what is your purpose for doing so?)? Are
you already a C++ programmer? If so, I would think it might be worth
considering sticking with C++, only in that programs written fully in
C++/wxWidgets will run faster than those written in wxPython/Python
(though in *many* cases the difference will not matter for human
purposes). And of course that you already know C++. I'm not trying
to turn you off Python and wxPython, of course, just thought you
shouldn't abandon something because you were put off by the docs.
Help needed
If you specify what it is you need help with, that will help the list
to help you. That said, the wxPython Demo is a good place to start to
at least see what you can do and to see the code that runs the
examples. It is downloadable from the wxPython site.

I suspect that the OP meant that s/he had trouble converting theC++ of the wxWidgets docs to Python.

Whenever I’ve needed some information about events, methods, etc. that I couldn’t find in the wxPython demo or docs, and have found it instead in the wxWidgets docs, it’s felt like reading a technical document in a foreign language… there are enough cognates that you can catch the gist, but you always feel you’re missing something.

Hi! And, welcome to the group...
Probably the best way to learn wxPython is to do something with it.
The two documents listed in the first reply are excellent sources *if*
you are not under ab=ny time pressure, like I've been under.
Additionally, there is a download on the wxPython download page that
includes both the Docs and Demos. (You can look at the demo code by
right clicking and "Edit with Idle" once Python and wxPython are
installed.)
I found that quite helpful.
Don't panic!
I had some exposure to Python back in 2001 and have been doing VB6
ever since.
I have also used wxGlade to create some Frames/Windows and examined
the code to see how it worked.
Start simple, if you have time to learn, not like I did trying a major
project from the start.
How much actual programming experience do you have?
And, in which language(s)?
*IF* you are just starting out and have no programming experience at
all there are a large number of both Python and wxPython videos on
YouTube. I found the ones on wxPython "calming".
You may actually have an advantage if you have no previous programming
experience. As then you won;t have to unlearn some of your old
language.
You'll find the folks here extremely patient and helpful, I did. You
will, too.
smm
programming wxPython for about four weeks, restarted Python at the
same time...
One more thing...
It takes the brain time to assimilate and collate all this new
information you're throwing at it. Give your self time to make sense
of it all...
I found the best way to get started was http://www.zetcode.com/wxpython/. After working through that, I could understand how to use the wxWidgets documentation, which is essential, and I started to find the book by Rappin and Dunn (wxPython in Action) helpful.
Thanks!
