wxpython in action book

[Butternut squash]

any recommendations? any opinions?

I want to learn to program in python and need a gui reference. I'll be
updating various mysql tables. I have most of the code ready to roll by
using a command line. I need put some lipstick on my project.

pyQT seems viable but there is not really a good reference and tutorial

so now I'm considering wxPython and saw this book and I'm wanting to know if
if's even worth spending my $40 on.

Thanks.

I read it, realy a good book。
but if your are not well acquainted with python, maybe need another
tutorial for python (http://docs.python.org/tut/tut.html ).
hope this help.

It's a great book. However, before diving in, take a moment to think about
how you expect to use this. When I have an app that mostly dinks with a
database, I almost always decide to put a web front-end onto it. That way,
I can run it locally (using CGIHTTPServer or CherryPy or something
similar), or I can plop it onto a web site and run it EVERYWHERE.

The thought processes are the same -- you create UI, you handle events.

You also might look at Dabo, which is a wrapper around wxPython for exactly
this kind of app.

Dabo

Thanks for the info. I'll check out dabo.
I understand that web is easier to distribute and more likely easier to
program. I loath CSS and HTML though and that's why I want a fat client
program. We'll see

pyGTK? I don't really have a preference. I just want the best resource to
have to learn this. I don't have that much time.
