That sounds like you've been using video tutorials? Those are a good
start but you are probably better using a written one and working
through them doing the examples. You can try my GUI topic as a quick
start. It uses Tkinter but finishes with a wxPython version too so it
might be enough to get you started. The concepts are similar.
But cant seem to find out how to or where to place the code
the files I want combined are attached.
#
import wx
app = wx.PySimpleApp()
frame = wx.Frame(None,-1,'hello')
frame.Show(1)
app.MainLoop()
#
This code creates the GUI(*) but does nothing.
You need to define the event handling functions and
bind them to the widgets/events. In this case you
don't have much to bind things to...
A Frame is just a container, it doesn't do anything as such.
You need to add other widgets such as text labels, entries,
buttons etc to the Frame. Then attach your functions
to the widgets. Any wxPython tutorial will show you
how to do that.
(*) wxPython is very OOP oriented, you normally have to create your own
sub-class of Frame. There is not much you can do with a standard Frame
object... If you are not comfortable with creating subclasses then you
should study OOP a bit more before attempting wxPython. Either that or
use Tkinter instead which is more amenable to procedural style code.
The other thing is your math code is full of print statements. They
won't work in a GUI. You need to get your code to return strings and
then display those strings in the GUI.
Finally, rewrite your fin() method to be non-recursive. Use a while
loop. Otherwise you are likely to get into all sorts of trouble, its one
of the most common beginners mistakes but recursion is not a good
looping technique in Python. However, in a GUI you won't need fin()
because the GUI mainloop will take over that function.
