I have picked the below example code for implementing a text editor

My query here is how can I implement the above code without using class(). Is it possible?

In general, my output should look like this:

1)Frame having title text as “Text Editor”

2)The area below the title bar will be a TextCtrl area which allows user to input text

Thanks.

Regards,

RD

Yes, of course it is. Every class structure can be unrolled. But
why? What on earth is the point? The class here serves to separate
and encapsulate individual responsibility. It’s just better coding
practice.

import wx

  app = wx.App(False)

  frame = wx.Frame(None, title='Small editor', size=(200,100))

  wx.TextCtrl(frame, style=wx.TE_MULTILINE)

  frame.Show(True)

  app.MainLoop()
