wxPython is a wrapper for the GUI toolkit wxWidgets for the Python programming language . The usage is almost identical to that of the C ++ version. wxPython is an alternative to Tkinter , which belongs to the Python package and is based on the Tk API. Like Python and wxWidgets, wxPython is open- source and platform-independent .

example

#!/usr/bin/env python

import wx

class TestFrame(wx.Frame):
    def __init__(self, parent, title):
        wx.Frame.__init__(self, parent, wx.ID_ANY, title=title)
        text = wx.StaticText(self, label="Hallo Welt!")

app = wx.App(0)
