Setting up your Computer - Mac OS X 10.4

wxPython

Transana uses wxPython, the Python wrapper for wxWidgets, for its graphical user interface, or GUI. Therefore, the next step in getting your computer ready to work on Transana's source code is to download and install wxPython. Information and downloads are available at http://www.wxpython.org. We are currently using version 2.8.9.1-unicode for OS X 10.4.

If you are not familiar with wxPython, you might want to take a look at the wxPython Tutorial. You will almost certainly want to download and explore the documention and demos as well. The book wxPython in Action is also an excellent resource.

The next step is to set up MySQL for Python.
