The section that describes the adding of widgets to the create_controls method/function begins with the line: "Now we are going to start adding the widgets to the frame in the create_controls() function". However, in a tutorial that is aimed at people new to wxPython a better wording would, in my opinion, have been: "Now we are going to start adding the widgets to the application by modifying the create_controls() function defined in the wxHelloFrame class. I know this is being very, very picky, but I have seen people define a second create_controls function outside of the class definition and get very frustrated. I hope you are not irritated by this observation. Cheers!! Dermot. I would recommend changing one line of this “good” tutorial.

It seems too complex and very broad for me. I am looking forward for your next post, I will try to get the hang of it! You really make it seem so easy with your presentation
but I find this topic to be actually something which I think
I would never understand. It seems too complex and
very broad for me. I am looking forward for your next post, I will try to get the hang of

I already had some experience with PyGTK and now I want to familiarize me with wxPython to start developing a bit for Mac OSX. Your tutorial helped me a lot to understand the "basic wxPython". Greetings from Germany! Daniel Hi Todd,

Thank you for this great tutorial. I already had some experience with PyGTK and now I want to familiarize me with wxPython to start developing a bit for Mac OSX. Your tutorial helped me a lot to understand the “basic wxPython”.

Greetings from Germany!

Basically, these tutorials are necessary due to a lacking comprehensive wxwidgets documention. that is really bottom-up. Nonetheless, thank you.

This was the best presentation on sizers that I have read. Your examples made it very easy to understand a concept that was so difficult for me before. Thank you very much!
