NB: One thing to I've noticed about wxPython is that if you
follow the rules carefully, the cross-platform behavior
consistency is pretty decent.  However, if you're not careful,
it's easy to do something the "wrong" way and have it still
work fine on one platform, but not on another.  During
development, you need to test frequently on all the platforms
you care about.  If you wait until the end to test on that
second/third platform, you may have accumulated enough minor
problems that it becomes a real chore to try to figure them all
out.
