[Pythonmac-SIG] Where to go for wxPython help & tutorials?

[Louis Pecora]

I'd like to use wxPython to open some simple windows and draw/plot 
figures from data.  But learning this apparently nice GUI has been 
haphazard.  I've looked over documention that comes with the 
installation and it appears incomplete.  Suggestions in the docs are to 
look to the examples and demos, but cheeze there's more there than I 
ever want to know and in no particular order.  I had to scroll through 
two files of foreign (to me) code to find that 
self.SetBackgroundColour("WHITE") will make my window background white. 

Can anyone recommend a source of documentation (preferably indexed)?  Or 
even a listiing of where to find things like defined colors (uppercase, 
apparently), events?  I understand the EVT_PAINT idea, but when/what are 
they called and what are the possible events I can bind a function to?

Thanks for any help or pointers.

I know some of you might recommend matplotlib for what I want, but I 
looked at it and it will not serve my purposes.
