I’ve decided to go on a side quest and learn a little about Python. wxWidgets has a wxPython option and that says to me that I have an opportunity here to branch out a little and learn something new.
Working with Python so far has been … shall we say, retro? I’m running command line tools to get it ready for use and it feels like it did back when I was learning C++ for the first time all those years ago. Not a bad thing, I guess, although it would be nice if they would polish this up a little. It’s weird to have to worry about paths and install directories and junk like that again.
I’m using Python3 and am working my way through a “Programming in Python” book on my Kindle. So far, so good!
