I was browsing at Barnes & Noble today when I discovered a Python book that
I hadn't seen before, "Python 2.1 Bible" by Dave Brueck and Stephen Tanner.
So I did what I usually do to any new Python book--drop everything
(literally,) crack it open, and see what kind of coverage they give to
wxPython. I have to say I was very impressed by this one. Instead of the
typical page and a half they dedicated a whole chapter to wxPython that has
a very good introduction, several examples with good explainations, and a
good coverage of the basics of using wxPython. Way to go guys!
If anybody is struggling with taking the first steps with wxPython I would
say that it is worth the price of the book just for this chapter. Of course
this chaper is just a tiny fraction of the book that appears to be jam
packed with many chapters on other areas of Python and various extensions
that are probably just as good. (But I didn't read any of them while
standing around B&N so I can't say for sure...) If I hadn't already maxed
out the Gift Certificate I went there to spend I would have picked up a copy
myself, but I'll just have to wait a while...
