Creating wxPython scripts from Win32 rc files

pyrcconv is a small tool that allows you - on win32 - to read a Win32 resource file and generate a wxPython script from it.

Usage

Just start the tool and load in a RC file (not a binary RES file) and save it as a python script. The generated script will have

a list of generated IDs for all controls (unique).
a method def NAME_OF_DIALOG(self,parent): for each dialog found. They are "mixin" methods to use in your wxDialog constructor.

Controls will have readable names, i.e. an IDC_READ_ONLY will be converted to a member self.m_btReadOnly and so on.

Download

You can download the installer here. It is a self-extracting installer that includes the full sourcecode.

IMPORTANT NOTE: you do need NAPYR to run pyrcconv.
