You have to understand the basic of wxpython.
Then you use only the part of code that you need.

Examlpe.

import wx

class MyFrame(wx.Frame):
    '''info abot class | Doc string'''
    def __init__(self, parent, mytitle, mysize):
        wx.Frame.__init__(self, parent, wx.ID_ANY, mytitle, size=mysize)
         
        #---| Window color |---#
        self.SetBackgroundColour('light blue')
        
        #---| Panel for frame |---#
        self.panel = wx.Panel(self)       
        

if __name__ == "__main__":
    app = wx.App()   
    mytitle = 'My window'  
    width = 300
    height = 200
    MyFrame(None, mytitle, (width, height)).Show()
    app.MainLoop()

Now i have a basic window.
So start wxpython demo.
I what to use choicebox code from demo.
Now i only copy the part i need,not all demo code.

import wx

class MyFrame(wx.Frame):
    '''info abot class | Doc string'''
    def __init__(self, parent, mytitle, mysize):
        wx.Frame.__init__(self, parent, wx.ID_ANY, mytitle, size=mysize)
         
        #---| Window color |---#
        self.SetBackgroundColour('light blue')
        
        #---| Panel for frame |---#
        self.panel = wx.Panel(self)          
        
        #Demo code
        sampleList = ['zero', 'one', 'two', 'three', 'four', 'five',
                      'six', 'seven', 'eight']        
        #Demo code
        self.ch = wx.Choice(self.panel, -1, (100, 50), choices = sampleList)
        self.Bind(wx.EVT_CHOICE, self.EvtChoice, self.ch)

    #Demo code 
    def EvtChoice(self, event):
        a = event.GetString()  #I change event handling like this i dont wanne write out like in the demo      
        self.a = wx.StaticText(self.panel, -1, str(a), pos = (105,80))  

if __name__ == "__main__":
    app = wx.App()   
    mytitle = 'My window'  
    width = 300
    height = 200
    MyFrame(None, mytitle, (width, height)).Show()
    app.MainLoop()

There is a module that is imported that is on wxDemo DIR. I don't remember well but it is something like run
You should modify that

[punter999]

yes you right as i try to run the demo code in the editor it gives me an error which is as follows
no package name run
and after this error the editor close down...

[punter999]

can you guide me how can i modify that run module???

[Stefano Mtangoo]

post whole code from demo and say which part you want so that someone can guide you on that. I don't even have Python installed here

Pulling usable code out the wxPython demo code is a royal pain. However, there are a lot of nicely working examples here:

Tell us which widget of the demo you are interested in and we can try to help.
