How to Open "Linux Python XRCed"

A programmer can develop Python Graphical User Interfaces in a variety of ways. One way is through the wxWidgets or wxPython libraries. To use these libraries, a frontend called "XRCed" exists, which uses XML files to create GUIs using wxWidgets or wxPython. Installing and opening XRCed on a Linux system is as easy as downloading the package and running the program through the Python interpreter.

Things You'll Need

• Linux Operating System
• Python Interpreter

Instructions

1. Download the Linux version of XRCed from xrced.sourceforge.net.

2. Unpack the program using the "tar" command in the command terminal:

   $>tar -xvf XRCed-0.1.8-4.tar.gz

3. Run the program. Navigate to the new directory created by the tar command, and execute the program with the Python interpreter:

   $>python xrced.py

Tips & Warnings

• XRCed requires the latest version of wxWidgets/wxPython GUI kit, available at wxwindows.org and wxpython.org.
