that allow Unicode objects to be passed as well as String objects. If a Unicode object is passed PyString_AsStringAndSize is used to convert it to a wxString using the default encoding. Fixed the generic buttons so tool tips work for them. Fixed a bug in the demo's tree control. Added a listbox to the listbox demo that shows how to find items with a patching prefix as keys are typed. Added code to the wxListCtrl demo to show how to get text from a column in report mode. Added code to the toolbar demo to clear the long help from the status bar after 2 seconds. Added wxJoystick. Fixed wxTimer so it can be used as described in the docs, either with a Notify method in a subclass, or sending an event to a wxEvtHandler object, (usually a window.) Added wxNotifyEvent.Allow() git-svn-id: https://svn.wxwidgets.org/svn/wx/wxWidgets/trunk@8764 c3d73ce0-8a6f-49c7-b76d-6d57e0e08775
wxPython README
---------------
Welcome to the wonderful world of wxPython!
Once you have installed the wxPython extension module, you can try it
out by going to the [install dir]\wxPython\demo directory and typing:
python demo.py
There are also some other sample files there for you to play with and
learn from.
If you selected to install the documentation then point your browser
to [install dir]\wxPython\docs\index.htm and you will then be looking
at the docs for wxWindows. For the most part you can use the C++ docs
as most classes and methods are used identically. Where there are
differences they are documented with a "wxPython Note."
On Win32 systems the binary self-installer creates a program group on
the Start Menu that contains a link to running the demo and a link to
the help file. To help you save disk space I'm now using Microsoft's
HTML Help format. If your system doesn't know what to do with the help
file, you can install the HTML Help Viewer as part of IE 4+, NT
Service Pack 4+, or the HTML Workshop at
http://msdn.microsoft.com/workshop/author/htmlhelp/download.asp.
For some features, the latest common controls library from microsoft
is required. You can get this by installing IE 5.0 or Office 2000.
You can also get it independently from here:
http://download.microsoft.com/download/platformsdk/Comctl32/5.80.2614.3600/W9XNT4/EN-US/50comupd.exe
Windows 95 users may also need the WinSock 2.0 and OpenGL libraries.
These can be found at these sites:
http://www.microsoft.com/windows95/downloads/contents/wuadmintools/s_wunetworkingtools/w95sockets2/default.asp

Getting Help
------------
Since wxPython is a blending of multiple technologies, help comes from
multiple sources. See the http://wxPython.org/ for details on various
sources of help, but probably the best source is the wxPython-users
mail list. You can view the archive or subscribe by going to
http://lists.sourceforge.net/mailman/listinfo/wxpython-users
Or you can send mail directly to the list using this address:
wxpython-users@lists.sourceforge.net
