wxPython Recipes

Welcome to my wxPython recipes book! As with most cookbooks, this one is made up of a series of recipes. Some recipes will be more involved than others, but most of the time, the recipe will be a nice bite-sized chunk of information that only covers three to five pages or so. There are more than 50 recipes in this book. I have compiled them over the last eight years from people who have asked questions on the wxPython mailing list, StackOverflow, or e-mailed me directly. Normally I would spend a lot of time in the introduction going over each section of the book, but since this book is a series of recipes, it won’t actually be split into sections. Instead, the recipes will be grouped where possible. For example, I have a number of XRC-related recipes, so they will be kept together as a single chapter. The recipes will include screenshots of the interfaces that you will be creating. There will be additional screenshots included if and when we change the code inside a recipe. A good example of this is in the Frame Styles recipe where we try out various flags that affect how wx.Frame is displayed.
