It provides a native look and feel for applications on Windows, Mac OS X, and Unix systems by using each platform’s native widgets where ever possible, (GTK+ on Unix-like systems). In addition to an extensive set of widgets, wxPython provides classes for online documentation and context sensitive help, printing, HTML viewing, low-level device context drawing, drag and drop, system clipboard access, an XML-based resource format and more, including an ever growing library of user-contributed modules. wxPython has a book, <a class="reference external" href="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/1932394621">wxPython in Action</a>, by Noel Rappin and Robin Dunn.</dd> </dl> </div> <p>PyGTK, PyQt, and wxPython, all have a modern look and feel and more widgets than Tkinter. In addition, there are many other GUI toolkits for Python, both cross-platform, and platform-specific. See the <a class="reference external" href="http://wiki.python.org/moin/GuiProgramming">GUI Programming</a> page in the Python Wiki for a much more complete list, and also for links to documents where the different GUI toolkits are compared.</p> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="sphinxsidebar"> <div class="sphinxsidebarwrapper"> <h4>Previous topic</h4> <p class="topless"><a href="idle.html" title="previous chapter">24.6.
