THIS PROGRAM COMES WITH NO WARRANTY
wxGlade is a GUI builder for wxWidgets/wxPython. It can create Python, C++, Perl, Lisp and XRC output.
- Python (http://www.python.org) 2.7, 3.4 or later
- wxPython (http://www.wxpython.org) >= 2.8 (wxPython Phoenix, i.e. release >=4.0.0, is supported)
If you have a choice, you should prefer wxPython Phoenix running on Python 3.x. See https://wxpython.org/pages/downloads/ for download and installation instructions. On Windows and macOS it can be installed with python -mpip install wxPython.
Download the latest released version as zip archive from https://sourceforge.net/projects/wxglade/
Unpack the archive to a known location and maybe add it to the path.
If you are familiar with git, you may instead just clone the repository from https://github.com/wxGlade/wxGlade.git The master branch should be stable enough for your work and I appreciate bug reports.
To start the program, change directory to the installation directory you unzipped to and enter python3 wxglade.py or python wxglade.py in your shell or use whatever is required to start a python application on your platform.
You may want to add a desktop shortcut to run the wxGlade.py file (or the wxGlade.pyw file).
If you want to build a GUI for wxPython Classic or Phoenix: Start wxGlade in your target version - if it runs under Phoenix, it will create Phoenix code. The .wxg file format is not affected by this. So you may use a single .wxg file to generate code for both Classic and Phoenix. The generated code should always run under both Python 2.7 and Python 3.
The documentation is at docs/html/index.html and includes a tutorial. You can view it from the help menu as well.
The target audience includes people who have not yet been using wxPython or wxWidgets before.
A snapshot of the documentation including tutorial can be found here: http://wxglade.sourceforge.net/docs/index.html This one is not always up to date, though.
