Introduction

In this chapter, we will take a quick overview on getting started with wxPython, including how to get an app started as well as handling events and supporting basic integration with various operating system features for the environments that the application may be operated in. These concepts are used throughout the recipes in this book as well as in any wxPython application you may develop. The recipes throughout this book target wxPython 3.0 running on Python 2.7. Many features exist and work in earlier versions of wxPython as well, but your mileage may vary with the recipes in this book when using a version earlier than 3.0.
