Good choice. If you will be doing much in wxPython get the book. It makes the whole thing much easier. > The script heretofore was just run at the command line. > Would it make sense to add an option in the same script > to have it run in "graphical mode", You can do but personally I prefer to have two separate versions, one with a CLI and the other a GUI. They both share a common module which is the core functionality represented as functions/classes so that the UI (either of them) can call them as needed. To do that the first step is to identify the core functions and refactor them into a separate module (or modules). To do that you have to remove all UI operations - print/raw_input etc from the functions and make them completely parameterised. (ideally they should be stateless too) The strings and data you need to display will be returned by the functions. Once you have that done its easy to add a CLI a GUI and even a web interface. > Anyone have any tips on adding a GUI to a pre-existing > script in a way that minimizes repetition of logic? I go through the process in the case study in my tutorial. Just scan through to the section Adding a GUI. It uses Tkinter but the conepts are identical.
