Is there any good wxPython documentation?

wxPython is definitely worth the effort.  I spent time getting over the 
wxPython learning curve and I'm happy I did it.

You really don't need the advanced documentation (unless you're pushing 
the envelope). The wxWindows documentation and the demos are enough.

Try to duplicate the demos in your own code.  Learn the difference 
between wxWindow, wxScrolledWindow, wxFrame and wxPanel.  Play with 
wxTextCtrl, wxStaticText and wxListBox.

Forget the menu stuff in the beginning.  You can add it later.

Work with the dialogs--wxMessageDialog, wxTextEntryDialog, 
wxSingleChoiceDialog and wxMultipleChoiceDialog.

Avoid the sizers.  Use the RolColSizer instead (a wonderful tool).

The wxPython objects have a lot of methods and attributes.  Wrap them in 
your own Python functions to create interfaces you're comfortable with.

Time spent with wxGrid is golden.  Study the documentation and create 
your own interfaces, as there are way too many features to absorb at once.
