= What is wxPython? = === A GUI Toolkit === wxPython is a '''GUI toolkit''' for the [[http://www.python.org/|Python]] programming language. It allows Python programmers to create programs with a robust, highly functional graphical user interface, simply and easily. It is implemented as a Python extension module (native code) that wraps the popular [[http://www.wxwidgets.org/|wxWidgets]] (formerly ''wxWindows'') cross platform GUI library, which is written in C++. === Open Source === Like Python and wxWindows, wxPython is '''[[http://www.opensource.org/|Open Source]]''' which means that it is free for anyone to use and the source code is available for anyone to [[http://cvs.wxwindows.org|look]] at and modify. Anyone can contribute fixes or enhancements to the project. === Cross Platform === wxPython is a '''cross-platform''' toolkit. This means that with a little care that the same program will run on multiple platforms without modification. Currently supported platforms are Microsoft Windows, and most Unix or unix-like systems with GTK available, and OS X 10.3.9 or above. === Go Get It!! === To learn more about wxPython continue reading pages in this Wiki.
