That's neat -- thank you for making it available.  I've just recently  
been working through some wxPython tutorials, and wondered if there  
was a simple text-based layout definition format that would let me  
define my interfaces in a simpler manner.

Your page says that the layout is defined in a docstring, but in the  
sample code, it's actually just in a regular string literal.  That's  
nice -- it means that we could read the layout from a file, for  
example, or even make a dynamic editor where we edit the layout string  
in one window, and view the result in real time in another window.

Is this layout format -- where indentation shows containment, and with  
the name/type/attributes  for each item on a line -- any sort of  
standard, or just something you guys made up?

Thanks very much,
