wxPython 
by Tony Cappellini 

wxPython is a GUI toolkit for the Python programming language. 
It allows Python programmers to create programs with a robust, 
highly functional graphical user interface, simply and easily. 
It is implemented as a Python extension module (native code) 
that wraps the popular wxWidgets cross platform GUI library, 
which is written in C++

My presentation is an introductory to using wxPython, GUI basics, 
IO redirection, GUI's vs cmd line programs, threading in a GUI 
app, and some helpful resources for wxPython,

Random Access follows immediately to allow follow up individually 
on the announcements and other interests.
