[wxPython] Suggestion for a "new user" project...

I generally use the MS Visual
Studio icon editor to create icons for

wxPython, it works fine, so I can’t actually justify doing this myself…

Since most people don’t have Visual Studio, however, it might be a cool

project for a new user to create a simple icon generator that can create

.ico, .xbm, .bmp, .png etc. files with a little bitmap
editor.

I think this is a great idea. Also in general, it would be fun to collect
a list of “wxPython Projects” for new users of wxPython to sink
their teeth into (like myself). I’m sure there are many people like
myself out there who are interested in learning wxPython, but are
hobbyists learning Python and have only a small amount of time to dabble
in learning a GUI API. Projects which could be useful to the community as
a whole might be just the motivator one needs to start coding.

Is there space to maintain such a list at wxPython? Or I guess the
question is, does Robin have enough time to maintain such a list?

Finally, what are the plans for the “snippets and samples”
section of wxpython.org? Frankly, I would love to see more code using
wxpython. If it is submitted with an eye toward edification (i.e. heavily
commented) I think it would be great resource. At least until that killer
tutorial is written.

Will soon learn wxpython more thoroughly yours,

I’m new both to Python and to wxPython, so I don’t enough

Hi,

I've started a project at wxpython-pit.sourceforge.net; the domain name
should be accessible Feb 29th-ish.

I have a list of all the wxPython code/projects I could find, and an
un-Official FAQ.

For now you can reach it at:
wxPython Pit - Links, Code, FAQs

Contributions welcome!

Cool! I wasn't even aware of most of those.

Yep. It takes about 24 hours for sourceforge to update their DNS.

Hmm...

cd wxPython/demo
run.py wxCalendarCtrl.py

Yes, but tomorrow is March 1st. <grin>

That's cool. Enahnced visibility should force me to
get off my butt and code faster

    BTW, I'm sure these projects might want testers and so on.
    Would it be fair use of the wxpython-users list by project
    authors to ask for beta testers for these projects? Maybe
    put [Tester Ad] in the subject or something? Or is that
    going to clutter the list?

Hi,

I was wondering how you got the beveled box around the
mp3 header and id3 tags sections in your mp3info
screenshot. The only thing I've found like that is the
radio box.

Thanks,
Rob

Use wxStaticBox and wxStaticBoxSizer.

I meant to send this to Yumpee. I was looking for
wxStaticBox and wxStaticSizer. Since I didn't see it in the
demo, I've added a small example of what I meant. I found
an example in the list archive. (Thanks Yumpee)

#!/usr/bin/env python

from wxPython.wx import *

class MyFrame( wxFrame ):
    def __init__( self, parent, ID ):
        wxFrame.__init__( self, parent, ID, "wxStaticBox wxStaticBoxSizer",
wxDefaultPosition)
        panel = wxPanel(self, -1)

boxsizer = wxBoxSizer( wxHORIZONTAL )

        rsb = wxStaticBox( panel, -1, "This is a wxStaticBox" )
        staticboxsizer = wxStaticBoxSizer( rsb, wxVERTICAL )
        boxsizer.Add( staticboxsizer, 1, wxEXPAND | wxALL, 10 )

        rw = wxWindow( panel, -1, size=(300,200) )
        foo = wxStaticText(rw, -1, "bla bla bla bla bla bla bla", wxPoint(10,
10), wxSize(175, 20))
        staticboxsizer.Add( rw, 1, wxEXPAND | wxALL, 10 )

        panel.SetAutoLayout( TRUE )
        panel.SetSizer( boxsizer )
        boxsizer.Fit( panel )
        self.Fit()

class MyApp(wxApp):
def __init__( self ):
wxApp.__init__( self )

    def OnInit(self):
        self.frame = MyFrame( NULL, -1 )
        self.frame.Show( true )
        self.SetTopWindow( self.frame )
        return true

app = MyApp( )
app.MainLoop()
