wxPython GUI - can it be compared to Java GUI or Visual Studio GUI?

Question

I have a two years of experience in programming of enterprise application's with Java and Visual Studio, and I'm new in Python and wxPython. So my question is: Can wxPython provide me enough rich GUI to create those same app's? My reason if using Python is in it's diversity, simplicity and fast development of app's. Thank you!

Answer 1

I think it depends on your definition of "rich." I use it and like to think it can make some fairly useful GUIs. Here's a screenshot of a wxPython app to work with sensor data I'm writing right now - not the most elaborate or complicated in the world, but so far it seems fairly intuitive for users:

I find the wxPython docs to be a little sparse at times, but as long as you've got the demo installed and the wxWidgets docs open it's a good toolkit to use.

Answer 2

wxGlade will give you the GUI skeleton. You will still need a separate text editor (I recommend Geany) to fill in the handlers.
