Dan,

   I thought that was implied. For example, I use 'import wx' and can then
instantiate wx.frame, wx.dialogbox, etc. without explicitly importing each
one. Apparently different modules work differently.

   OK. The former picks the element for you while with the latter we must
specify which element to pick.

   Thank you. This is all very good to know.
