Like most hackers, I learn a new language by acutally using it.
python's brilliantly put together as a language, IMHO, but
learning [or re-learning] a GUI toolkit like wx is problematic.
At least for me, not having touched/built anything graphic for
8 or 9 years. So:: is there a tutorial on using this toolkit?
template.py is good example of creating a basic frame rectangle.
But a logical next step [for me anyway] would be to build on
template.py and create a menubar with a few types of object
dropdowns. "File", "Edit", "Fonts", "Help", &c. Is there?
or rather, Where is the tutorial that describes how to
build-out? Apologies up front if it's there somewhere
(too) obvious!

The wx-included demo is a great learning tool. Try it!

Hi Gary. We have some video tutorials which might help you along? There are 3 series here:
http://showmedo.com/videos/wxpython
Two of them are free (Python GUI Programming and Developing emol!), one of them is only for subscribers (Build a wxPython Image Viewer).
The two free series will show you have to build a basic framework and add events and menus, the Image Viewer series also contains exercises with worked-solutions. The source code for the Image Viewer series is freely available (just look at each video page) so you can mostly follow along without having to subscribe.
Cheers,
Ian.
