Very true, but wxPython still is horribly documented. Documentation of
the C version of something is really not very friendly especially to new
Python programmers. I for one would be glad to buy a book about wxPython
if someone a lot more experienced than myself cared to write such a
book. I do know C but I still find working from the wxWindows docs
frustrating with a lot of trial and error required.
