About  
GUIE (GUI Editor) provides a simple WYSIWYG GUI editor for wxWidgets.  
The program was made in C# and saves the GUI that was created to a XML  
format I called GUIML. This GUIML is a pretty standard representation  
of the GUI created with the program with some helpful additions for  
…NET. Next, GUIE takes these GUIML files and translates it to either  
wxPython Python code or wxRuby R. code (more languages in the  
future). You may ask yourself why I took the extra step? Why didn’t I  
go straight from C# controls to wxPython code? Why is GUIML necessary?  
Well, it isn’t. It is there simply for people (or maybe I) to take the  
GUIML and convert it to other languages. This, by effect can convert  
this tool from a Python GUI editor, to “any programming language with a  
GUI module” GUI editor.
