[wxPython] run.py to quick start demo

I have been unable to run the Demo as stand alones. They work fine if
I run from start, programs, etc.

Have Windows 2000
Python 2.2.1
wxPython 2.3.2.1- Py 22
and am trying to run wxProcess.

Searched the archives and located run.py 7 Mar 2000 but was unable to
run, did not like "write =3D WriteText"

Noticed that run.py was in the demo directory. Tried running and it
gave me instructions

"Please specify a demo module name on the command-line"
and then askes me "Do you want to exit altogether?"
but I was unable to enter wxProcess.

I am sure it is something simple but I have not figured it out yet.

Help! and thanks.

You need a command line (the line that starts run.py) that includes the
name of the module as a parameter. I don't know of any way to specify
parameters when you run a program by double-clicking in Explorer, but you
should be able to type the following at a command prompt (either a dos box
or the Start-->Run option):

python run.py wxProcess

There's some possibility that you may need to specify the final parameter
as wxProcess.py, as well -- I haven't tested this, I'm just making
educated guesses. :slight_smile:

Open a command-line window, cd to the wxPython/demo directory and type:

    python run.py wxScrolledWindow

(or any other demo module name.)
