wxPython is an implementation of the wxWidgets GUI API (often referred to as a 'toolkit') for the Python programming language. It is meant as an alternative to Tkinter, which is an implementation of the Tcl based Tk API.

Feature

The most important feature of wxPython, compared to Tkinter, is that it provides native-looking widgets to the program. On each of the platforms (operating systems) it runs, it utilized the widgets provided by the underlying system, thus make the program more similar to other programs on the same platform. On the other end, Tkinter provides a uniform outlook on all of the platforms it run because it draws its widgets by the graphics facilities.

class TestFrame(wx.Frame):

wx.Frame.(self, parent, -1, title, pos=(0, 0), size=(320, 240))
panel = wx.Panel(self, -1)
text = wx.StaticText(panel, -1, "Test", wx.Point(10, 5), wx.Size(-1, -1))

class TestApp(wx.App):
def OnInit(self):
frame = TestFrame(None, -1, "Hello, world!")
self.SetTopWindow(frame)
frame.Show(True)
return True

if  == '':
app = TestApp(0)
app.MainLoop()
