Hello! Welcome to the wxPyWiki, (pronounced wix-pee-wi-kee) a collaborative document evolution system for the wxPython project, implemented using MoinMoin. Anyone can edit content here, you just have to follow TheRules or risk facing the RathOfRobin . The purpose of the wxPyWiki is to provide documentation, examples, how-tos, etc. for helping people learn, understand and use wxPython. Anything that falls within those guidelines is fair game. <<HTML(</font>)>
