Example of a simple gui calculator based on wxpython development

This article is an example of a simple gui calculator based on wxpython development. Shared for your reference. Specific as follows:

# wxCalc1 a simple GUI calculator using wxPython
# created with the Boa Constructor which generates all the GUI components
# all I had to do is add some code for each button click event
# Boa free from: /
# note that  boa-constructor-0.3.1.
# still uses  wxPythonWIN32-2.4.2.
# but is expected to work with wxPython version 2.5 soon
# tested with Python23  vegaseat  26feb2005
from  import *
# some Boa generated global IDs ...
