I know, I can't believe wxPython doesn't use a simpler API for things
like event binding rather than just sticking to the C++ api so closely.
That's why people are creating their own wrappers to wxPython now.
It's ridiculous. And yes, I know event binding was made slightly
simpler for 2.5. 2.5 also takes some steps backwards, in the name of
being more like the C++ api.
