That is not the Python motto.

It is a philosophy which factors into decisions of things to add to the
standard library; but there are other factors as well.

It emphatically doesn't mean to include everything, or even most things.
It means providing broad support for a wide range of common tasks and
generally encourages including mature, best-of-breed modules that emerge
out in the wider ecosystem that are suitable for inclusion.

wxPython is mature: best-of-breed is a long-debated, and its not
suitable for inclusion for various reasons discussed elsewhere.
