I’m new to wxPython and programming in general so hopefully there is an easy solution to my problem. I’ve assembled several sources to look for answers when I have questions but the going has been really slow. It seems that simple things take me forever to find. I usually end up doing Google searches for various phrases and reading old questions from the listserve. I bought the book wxPython in Action which is good for general issues but because of the limited index has not been a good reference for me. Here is where I usually check online:
http://www.wxpython.org/onlinedocs
http://wiki.wxpython.org/AnotherTutorial
http://wiki.wxpython.org/Getting_Started
Today I’ve been looking for specific events without much luck. It seems that to find an event name one has to already know the name. Is there a resource that lists events based on what they are for rather than by name or parent class?
Thanks in advance for the help.

Hi Mike,
I still feel like a newbie here as well. I get a lot of the kind of
help you’re looking for by scanning files of wxPython’s built-in
help. I dumped help to files like this:
` import
sys
import
wx
import
wx.lib
sys.stdout
= sys.stderr = open(“help_wxlib.txt”,‘w’)
app =
wx.App(False)
help(wx.lib)

#
sys.stdout = sys.stderr = sys.stdout # restore the standard
stdout
`Note that you have to create the app first. Otherwise, you’ll
just get the “PACKAGE CONTENTS” listing.
The above won’t get you Grid help though, as Grid source is stored
separately.
` import
sys
import
wx
import
wx.grid
sys.stdout
= sys.stderr = open(“help_wxgrid.txt”,‘w’)
app =
wx.App(False)
help(wx.grid)
#
sys.stdout = sys.stderr = sys.stdout # restore the standard
stdout
`And so forth. Now you have a couple more places to
look.
