Where to download Phoenix demo code?

[Duane Kaufman]

Hi,

I have installed wxPython (Phoenix, from snapshot), and Python 3.3, and I
would like to play around with them.

With Python 2.7 and wxPython, there was a demo distributed with the
documentation, but try as I might, I cannot find a Python 3.3-compatible
version of the demo.

Where can I locate this?

Thanks,
Duane

There isn't one yet. There are a few samples applications used for
testing in the repository (or the source tarball) in Phoenix/samples.

To elaborate a little further, other than the simple proof of concept
type samples, the current samples are basically things that were too
complex or awkward to adequately test with just the unit tests.

And the reason there isn't a demo yet is that I'm still thinking about
whether to port the existing demo or or implement a different demo
framework. Some possible differences are making it easier to extend
with add new samples and also better accommodating the corner-case needs
of some of the samples that we didn't know about with the old demo until
we ran into them. In other words, to learn from and avoid the mistakes
of the old demo.

Fair enough. Thanks for all your efforts.

I've installed Phoenix with pip. I see a Phoenix demo directory in svn. I
haven't used svn or github for that matter.
Should I download each file manually from svn (from a webbrowser) into some
arbitrary folder to mess around with a "demo" or is there some snazzy WinXP
command line tool like pip I can use to download and install it. I'm aware
from posts a few short months back that the demo, as is, is not intended to
be "the demo" for Phoenix.

It just calls to me like a siren when I see other posts with screen
captures of it.

I am not aware of a demo download for just the demo.

1. Create yourself a git account if you don't already have one
2. Fork Robin's repo here: https://github.com/RobinD42/Phoenix
3. Clone it to your PC from your repo

As an alternative you can clone it directly from Robin's repo, e.g.
using TortoiseGit.



Another alternative is to use the "Download ZIP" option on github, lower
right side of the screen.

The first option would be the best, as that then allows you to do Pull
Requests for issues you find.
