		<description><![CDATA[So, this is something that has bothered me for a long time. The military, and by extension the federal government, certainly appears to be run by incompetent imbeciles. Of course, nearly everyone knows this already so I&#8217;m probably not saying anything that isn&#8217;t already known. But I need to vent.

wxPython is a stable, mature graphical library. As such, it has widgets for nearly everything you plan on creating. Generally speaking, if you can’t do it with wxPython, you’ll probably have to create a custom GUI, such as used in video games.

Before you start creating a GUI with wxPython, you need to know how to program in Python. This may seem pretty obvious but some people may expect wxPython is self-contained; no additional knowledge required. As a personal plug, you can view my Python programming tutorial at GIDNetwork.

GUIs (graphic user interfaces) are very popular for computers nowadays. Very rarely will you find a program that doesn’t have some sort of graphical interface to use it. Most non-graphical programs will be found on Unix-like operating systems; even then, those programs are usually older ones where the programmer didn’t want [...]]]></description>
