What is it?
-----------

FXPy is a Python extension module which provides an interface to the FOX
cross-platform GUI library. With a few minor exceptions, FXPy provides a
complete interface to FOX. FOX is a C++-based toolkit for developing
graphical user interfaces easily and effectively. Some of the
significant features of FOX include:

 *  A rich set of widgets (including dials, shutters, tree lists, and
    many other "modern" widgets).
 *  Powerful but easy-to-use layout managers.
 *  Extensive support for 3-D modeling using OpenGL or Mesa.
 *  Supports the XDND protocol for drag-and-drop.
 *  Registry for persistent application settings.
 *  Runs natively under Unix/X and Microsoft Windows.
 *  And much, much more!

Please see the FOX home page (URL listed above) for more details about
the FOX library's features. Also consider subscribing to the foxgui-users
