[wxPython] Is there still an interest in a wxPython book?

Hello Everyone,

I had announced months ago that I was working on a wxPython book and that it would be out this September. Well, my “real job” pushed the schedule out considerably and I am looking at a publish date of April 1, 2003.

I wanted to do a straw poll and insure that there is still substantial interest in a wxPython book before I move forward (my publisher is requiring me to do this :)).

Please respond if you feel it is still needed (this of course is my sentiment), and I would also like feedback on where people’s interests are and what they would like to see in the book. The original manuscript and outline are based on information that is several months old, and I want to insure that everyone gets what they want (if possible of course).

Thanks and I look forward to hearing from all of you.

Gary Young

Better late than never! Waiting for it ....

My primary test of a book's value to me is: "does it show me how to tackle
my current problem?"
Today that is: I want to have the first window when my app starts be a
Notebook page, and on that or another page show a graphic area (for the
program to draw on), a text input area and a couple of buttons. (I think
I'm having trouble with sizers, and particularly the wxNotebook sizer
(which is rather different)).
So, lots of good (& working, i.e. complete, tested) examples, please.

Also, if you can include a pure Pythonised list of all the components,
parameters etc to save us working through the C/C++ stuff, that would be
great.

Apart from those, just "everything".

Nothing new to add, I just want everything the other folks already asked for.

I’m looking forward to it …

Thanks Horst. I'm just going to suck it up and finish it, no matter what.
Count on it: April 1, 2003.
