wxGlade: a GUI builder for wxWidgets/wxPython
Description
wxGlade is a GUI designer written in Python with the popular GUI toolkit wxPython, that helps you create wxWidgets/wxPython user interfaces. At the moment it can generate Python, C++, Perl, Lisp and XRC (wxWidgets' XML resources) code.
As you can guess by the name, its model is Glade, the famous GTK+/GNOME GUI builder, with which wxGlade shares the philosophy and the look & feel (but not a line of code).
It is not (and will never be) a full featured IDE, but simply a "designer": the generated code does nothing apart from displaying the created widgets. If you are looking for a complete IDE, maybe Boa Constructor, PythonCard or Spe(which includes wxGlade itself, BTW...) is the right tool.
News
2012-01-08 wxGlade 0.6.5 released. 2011-12-21 wxGlade 0.6.4 released. 2009-10-13 New documentation on creating custom widgets.
Laurent Marcoux has contributed a manual on creating and using custom widgets with wxGlade. You can find at http://sites.google.com/site/lvmarcoux/, together with code samples. Thanks a lot Laurent! 2008-12-02 Location of the Mercurial repository changed.
Due to some changes in SourceForge's shell services, we have moved the Mercurial (Hg) repository to BitBucket. The new location is https://www.bitbucket.org/agriggio/wxglade. 2008-02-02 wxGlade 0.6.3 released. 2007-12-28 wxGlade 0.6.2 released. 2007-10-25 wxGlade 0.6.1 released. 2007-09-23 wxGlade 0.6 released. 2007-08-27 wxGlade switches from CVS to Mercurial.
Starting from today, development does not happen in CVS anymore. The CVS repository is still accessible, but we will shut it down soon. We have switched to the Mercurial Distributed Version Control System. The new repository is at http://wxglade.sourceforge.net/hg/wxGlade. Notice that you don't need to have Mercurial installed to download the code, just point your web browser to the above url.Screenshots
