[Edu-sig] wxPython and COM Query
Hello All, I need to get up to speed on wxPython and was wondering if you could recommend the best resources for the task. Thanks! PS - When Mark Hammond's Windows stuff came out for 2.4, it became clear that the COM stuff was buggy. Does anyone know if that has been fixed? Thanks again. -- Best regards, Chuck ___ Edu-sig mailing list Edu-sig@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/edu-sig

Perhaps not as your first step, but I would highly recommend that you have a look at the wxPython demo. I almost always look at it first when I want to learn to do something using wxPython. It requires a separate download. There's a new book that will be coming out soon which I definitely intend to buy: http://www.manning.com/books/rappin The cost of shipping to Canada is such that I will wait for it to be available through other channels (Chapter's or Amazon). However, from the link above, you can buy an e-book, which has about half the chapters available (it looks like the whole thing will be available within a month). I have heard great things about this book from wxPython users whose opinion I highly respect. Another path may be to use Dabo, which includes a wrapper around wxPython, and is supposed to be easier to learn. I've heard good things about it, but never tried it myself.

Most of it is already available, with the whole book due quite soon. By the way, if you buy the e-book from them, you can later use the e-book purchase price as credit towards the purchase of the paper book directly from them (which will be at full retail price). --Scott David Daniels [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ Edu-sig mailing list Edu-sig@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/edu-sig
