Learning WxLua from a WxPython perspective

[Cordilow]

Does anyone here know both WxLua and WxPython?

I'm wondering how the syntax of WxLua differs from that of the current version of WxPython.

For instance, here's a sample wxPython program. How would one do this sort of thing in WxLua? (This code portrays an input and an output screen, sort of like a command-line; if you press enter with no input, it will output "Hello World"; cls and clear will clear the screen, and anything else will output whatever you typed; also try resizing the window.)

import wx

class MyFrame(wx.Frame):
    writeHeight = 50 #this is the height of the box, or prompt, which you write in.

    def __init__(self, parent, title):
        wx.Frame.__init__(self, parent, -1, title)
        mainPanel = wx.Panel(self, -1)
        
        self.read = wx.TextCtrl(self,-1,"",wx.Point(15,95),wx.Size(469,118),wx.TE_MULTILINE)
        self.read.SetForegroundColour(wx.Colour(210,193,136))
        self.read.SetBackgroundColour(wx.Colour(0,0,0))
        self.read.SetFont(wx.Font(20,74,90,90,0, "Courier New"))
        self.read.SetEditable(False)
        
        self.write = wx.TextCtrl(self, -1, "", (0,self.GetClientSize().GetHeight()-self.writeHeight), (self.GetClientSize().GetWidth(),self.writeHeight))
        self.write.SetForegroundColour(wx.Colour(210,193,136))
        self.write.SetBackgroundColour(wx.Colour(0,0,0))
        self.write.SetFont(wx.Font(20,74,90,90,0, "Verdana"))
        self.Bind(wx.EVT_SIZE, self.AdjustSize, self)
        self.write.SetFocus()
        self.write.Bind(wx.EVT_KEY_DOWN, self.EvaluatePrompt, self.write)

    def AdjustSize(self, evt):
        width=self.GetClientSize().GetWidth()
        height=self.GetClientSize().GetHeight()-self.writeHeight
        self.read.SetSize((width, height))
        self.read.Move((0,0))
        writeVerticalPos = self.GetClientSize().GetHeight()-self.writeHeight
        self.write.Move((0,writeVerticalPos))
        self.write.SetSize((self.GetClientSize().GetWidth(),self.writeHeight))

    def EvaluatePrompt(self, evt):
        evt.Skip()
        if evt.GetKeyCode()==wx.WXK_RETURN or evt.GetKeyCode()==wx.WXK_NUMPAD_ENTER:
            prompt = self.write.GetValue()
            #START IF STATEMENTS:
            if prompt == "":
                self.read.SetValue("Hello world!" + "\n")
            elif prompt.lower()=="cls" or prompt.lower()=="clear":
                self.read.SetValue("")
            else:
                self.read.AppendText(prompt + "\n")
            self.write.SelectAll()

app = wx.PySimpleApp()
f = MyFrame(None, "Hello World Program")
f.Show()
app.MainLoop()

PS: Feel free to use this code as you will (commercially or not). It's generic enough in my book not to make a big deal out of it.
