Can I install a new module (wxPython)?

It´s possible install a new module? I need to run some files wxPython

Hi there -- which bits of wxPython do you want to use? I ask because it's a cross-platform GUI toolkit, and PythonAnywhere doesn't have a GUI -- but perhaps there are useful bits of it that we could install separately.

  • Taking screenshots with wxPython ! . That is widely usefull when working with virtual displays.

    *Example: With selenium you can make snapshots of the browser, but not of the screen: there is no way to see the options that appear with a right-mouse click. (Cause of hours of pain when it's needed)

  • wxpython is a GUI toolkit. It's usefull too for daemon style programming, apps running awaiting for events. It's supposed to work with GUI related events (keystrokes, mouse interacions, ..). But it's not only that. You can bind network events, time events, or whatelse, make your custom events as your wishes.

Thanks, that's a great explanation! I'll push it up the priority list, then.

Nice! Glad to hear that.
