wxPython: Looping over all children of a sizer

[F. GEIGER]

Since you are the one who's stuffing all the controls into the sizer, you
are the one knowing how much of them have been stuffed into it, i.e. add
them all to an internal list, as you add them to a sizer.

To remove one of them you have to call wxSizer::Remove().
