In general wxPython provides a rather thin if at all layer over the
original C++ functionality, with few exceptions (like Python applets in the
html view widget) which may not be in the everyday use by everybody.
Closely following the lines of the underlying toolkit is good for some
users but is bad for the others. Anyway everybody has a choice.
