How come wxPython isn't in the standard library?

The other thing I failed to mention is that the wxPython API isn't very
Pythonic.  (This doesn't matter to people like me who are used to GUI
programming - the wxPython API is very much in the normal style for GUI
APIs.)

There is an expectation that modules in the standard library are good
examples of Pythonic APIs, programming, documentation, self tests etc.
