+ wx Core
+ The classes which appear in the main wx namespace
-Like Python and wxWidgets, wxPython is *Open Source* which means that it is
-free for anyone to use and the source code is available for anyone to look at
-and modify. Or anyone can contribute fixes or enhancements to the project.
+ wx.adv
+ Less commonly used or more advanced classes
-wxPython is a *cross-platform* toolkit. This means that the same program will
-run on multiple platforms without modification. Currently supported platforms
-are 32-bit Microsoft Windows, most Unix or unix-like systems, and Macintosh OS
-X+, in most cases the native widgets are used on each platform.
+ wx.grid
+ Widget and supporting classes for displaying and editing tabular data
-Since the language is Python, wxPython programs are **simple, easy** to write
-and easy to understand.
+ wx.dataview
+ Classes for viewing tabular or hierarchical data
-As an example, this is a simple "Hello World" program with wxPython::
+ wx.richtext
+ A generic, ground-up implementation of a text control capable of showing multiple text styles and images.
- import wx
+ wx.ribbon
+ A set of classes for writing a ribbon-based UI, typically a combonation of tabs and toolbar, similar to the UI in MS Office and Windows 10.
- app = wx.App()
+ wx.html
+ Widget and supporting classes for a generic html renderer
- frame = wx.Frame(None, -1, "Hello World")
- frame.Show()
+ wx.html2
+ Widget and supporting classes for a native html renderer, with CSS and javascript support
- app.MainLoop()
+ wx.aui
+ Docking/floating window panes, draggable notebook tabs, etc.
-The GUI layouts you can build with wxPython are almost infinite: it has an
-extremely rich set of widgets (derived from `wxWidgets`) and greatly extended
-by a huge set of pure-Python controls written over the years.

+ wx.lib
+ Our pure-Python library of widgets
+ wx.glcanvas
+ Classes for embedding OpenGL views in a window
-What is wxPython Phoenix?
--------------------------
+ wx.stc
+ Classes for Styled Text Control, a.k.a Scintilla
-**Phoenix** is the code name of a new implementation of wxPython. The name comes
-from the `mythical bird `_
-that bursts into flames at the end of its life and from the ashes is reborn as
-a new, stronger, and better phoenix. Likewise the intent with the
-*wxPython Phoenix* project is throw almost everything from *wxPython Classic*
-into the fire to be built anew from the ashes of its former self, without all
-of the old crud that had built up over the long life of Classic.
+ wx.msw
+ A few classes available only on Windows
-Much of that crud were rather hacky things which had to be done to
-work around limitations of the technology available at the time. Those are
-easy to get rid of. Others are things that seemed good at the time, but in
-retrospect turned out to be bad ideas. Some of those are a little more
-tricky, but still a good idea to change. The end result will be a new
-wxPython that is better, stronger, and faster than he was before, and which is
-easier to maintain, extend and document.
+ wx.media
+ MediaCtrl and related classes
-Although there hasn't been a formal release yet, Phoenix is already in a
-usable state with snapshot builds available after new commits are merged,
-and is in active use on a number of projects already. Progress is still being
-made and an official release is on the way. Stay tuned to the wxPython
-developer and user groups for more information and announcements.
+ wx.propgrid
+ PropertyGrid and related classes for editing a grid of name/value pairs.
-Meanwhile, here are some important links:
+ wx.xrc
+ Classes for loading widgets and layout from XML
- * The `MigrationGuide `_ will help you understand the
- differences between wxPython Phoenix and Classic. In addition,
- `classic_vs_phoenix `_ documents
- some names that have been changed, or which haven't yet been ported to
- Phoenix.
+ wx.xml
+ Some simple XML classes for use with XRC
- * The new wxPython API documentation is available `here `_.
+ wx.py
+ The py package, containing PyCrust and related modules
- * The `Project Phoenix `_ section
- of the wxPython wiki has information about the background of, and reasons
- for this project, as well as information for developers who want to help
- out.
+ wx.tools
+ Some useful tools and utilities for wxPython.
- * Source code and issue tracking are available at the
- `Phoenix GitHub `_ repository. Be
- sure to read the README.rst file there to learn how to build wxWidgets and
- Phoenix for yourself.
