Actually we don't want "Robins wxPython" in the stdlib "as is" anyway.
What we DO want is an abstraction API for the short term that plugs
into Robin's wx. Then over the long term we will either convince him
to create a better API OR just create our own wxPython directly from
WxWidgets and mold it into the stdlib. So hinging on the argument of
what one *single* man thinks is a non-starter.

We all respect Robin however python is greater then me, then you, and
yes, EVEN Guido van Rossum! Python belongs to the world now. And what
is best for Python's community AS A WHOLE is what we should be
concerned about.
