Is there anybody who knows how to configure it to work with wxPython? I saw them saying it is capable of exporting xml files,Is that helpful.

A program called Boa Constructor is wxDev-CPP's couterpart for Python programming. It uses wxPython and has a drag and drop frame builder.

I bought wxPython in action book, which really helped me. ISBN 1-932394-62-1. I have developed two applications that use wxPython. Both are stable and the users like the interface. Hope that helps.

There are some rather obvious errors in your code. You also need to give attention to the indentation rules:

# there were some errors
# _init_() should have double underlines __init__()
# parent should be None for the class instance

import wx
class centre(wx.Frame):
    def __init__ (self,parent,id,title):
        wx.Frame.__init__(self,parent,id,title)
        
        self.Centre()
        self.Show(True)
        
app=wx.App(0)
parent = None
centre(parent,-1,'Centre')
app.MainLoop()
