==========================
wxPython API Documentation
==========================

!WELCOME!

If you are porting your code from Classic wxPython, be sure to read the
`Migration Guide <MigrationGuide.html>`_  to get a better feel for
how some things have changed.

You can download a local copy of this documentation using a new utility script
included with wxPython called ``wxdocs``. It will open the local copy of the
documentation in your default browser, downloading it first if needed. There
is also a similar tool called ``wxdemo`` that will download (if needed)
and launch the wxPython demo for you.

.. note:: If you wish to help in the documentation effort, the main
   docstrings guidelines are outlined in the
   `Docstring Guidelines <DocstringsGuidelines.html>`_
   document.
