Announcing
----------

The 2.8.12.0 release of wxPython is now available for download at
http://wxpython.org/download.php. This release has no major new
features or enhancements, but there have been plenty of bug fixes
since the last stable release.

Source code is available as a tarball, and binaries are also available
for Python 2.6 and 2.7, for Windows and Mac, as well some packages for
various Linux distributions in the wx apt repository.  Binaries for
Python 2.5 have been discontinued.



What is wxPython?
-----------------

wxPython is a GUI toolkit for the Python programming language. It
allows Python programmers to create programs with a robust, highly
functional graphical user interface, simply and easily. It is
implemented as a Python extension module that wraps the GUI components
of the popular wxWidgets cross platform library, which is written in
C++.

wxPython is a cross-platform toolkit. This means that the same program
will usually run on multiple platforms without modifications.
Currently supported platforms are 32-bit and 64-bit Microsoft Windows,
most Linux or other Unix-like systems using GTK2, and Mac OS X 10.4+.
In most cases the native widgets are used on each platform to provide
a 100% native look and feel for the application.
