- This book empowers you to create rich cross-platform graphical user interfaces using Python
- It helps you develop applications that can be deployed on Windows, OSX, and Linux
- The recipes in the book involve real-world applications, giving you a first-hand experience of the practical scenarios
wxPython is a GUI toolkit for the Python programming language built on top of the cross-platform wxWidgets GUI libraries. wxPython provides a powerful set of tools that allow you to quickly and efficiently building applications that can run on a variety of different platforms. Since wxWidgets provides a wrapper around each platforms native GUI toolkit, the applications built with wxPython will have a native look and feel wherever they are deployed.
This book will provide you with the skills to build highly functional and native looking user interfaces for Python applications on multiple operating system environments. By working through the recipes, you will gain insights into and exposure to creating applications using wxPython. With a wide range of topics covered in the book, there are recipes to get the most basic of beginners started in GUI programming as well as tips to help experienced users get more out of their applications. The recipes will take you from the most basic application constructs all the way through to the deployment of complete applications.
What you will learn- Create full featured user interfaces
- Design and develop custom controls
- Deploy and distribute wxPython applications to Windows, Macintosh OS X, Linux, and other UNIX-like environments
- Handle and respond to application events
- Manage and display data using grids
- Interact with web services from your GUI
- Use Paint events to draw custom displays
- Support the display of user interfaces in multiple languages
Cody Precord is a software engineer based in Minneapolis, MN, USA. He designs and writes systems and application software for Windows, AIX, Linux, and Macintosh OS X using primarily C++, C#, C, Perl, Bash, and Python. The constant need for working on multiple platforms naturally led Cody to the wxPython toolkit, which he has used for several years. He is the author of wxPython 2.8 Application Development Cookbook, Packt Publishing and has also contributed to the development of the wxPython library. Cody is interested in promoting cross platform development practices and improving usability in software.

Joran Beasley received his degree in computer science from the University of Idaho. He has programmed desktop applications in wxPython professionally to monitor large-scale sensor networks that can be used in agriculture for the last 7 years. Joran currently lives in Moscow, Idaho, and works for Decagon Devices, Inc. as a software engineer.
I would like to thank my wife, Nicole, for putting up with my long hours hunched over a keyboard and her constant support and help in raising our two wonderful children.
Jens Gpfert started developing applications with wxPyton in 2003, as a student assistant first and later on during his professional career. He is known and considered by peers as a wxPython expert. Jens has developed applications for engineers in the automotive domain, where he further gained invaluable experience in working with complex and easily operable user interfaces. With this knowledge, he started using wxPython for various projects in his spare time as well. Also, as a user of the underlying C++ implementation, Jens applies his analytical skills to better understand the wxPython functionality and address problems or make enhancements.
Special thanks go to my wife, Marlene, and my two children, Melinda and Julius, for supporting me and my passion for developing while I spent a lot of time working on the computer.

In today's world of desktop applications, there is a great amount of incentive in being able to develop applications that can run in more than one environment. Currently, there are a handful of options available for cross platform frameworks to develop desktop applications in Python; wxPython is one such cross platform GUI toolkit for the Python programming language. It allows Python programmers to simply and easily create programs with a complete, highly functional graphical user interface. The wxPython code style has changed quite a bit over the years and has become much more Pythonic. The examples that you will find in this book are fully up to date and reflect this change in style. This cookbook provides you with the latest recipes to quickly create robust, reliable, and reusable wxPython applications. These recipes will guide you right from writing simple, basic wxPython scripts all the way through complex concepts and also feature various design approaches and techniques in wxPython.
This book starts off by covering a variety of topics, from the most basic requirements of a wxPython application to some of the more in-depth details of the inner workings of the framework, thus laying a foundation for any wxPython application. It then explains event handling, basic and advanced user interface controls, interface design and layout, creating dialogs, components, extending functionality, and so on. We will conclude by learning how to build and manage applications for distribution.
For each of the recipes, there is first an introductory and then more advanced examples along with plenty of example code that shows you how to develop and manage user-friendly applications. For more experienced developers, most recipes also include an additional discussion of the solution, allowing you to further customize and enhance the component.
, wxPython Starting Points , teaches the basics of getting started with building applications with wxPython.
, Common User Controls , introduces you to the commonly used UI components and how use them in wxPython.
, UI Layout and Organization , shows you how to lay out and present user controls on screen using Sizers.
