The trick is in accessing the data. In Boa the wxPython help seems quite comprehensive. And when you combine that with the wx examples most things come to light fairly quickly.
The trick to using the examples is not just to open them in Boa (which links to them in the help menu), but to also run them from the wxPython install by selecting 'Run the Python wx DEMO'. This brings up an application that shows each example working so you can see what you are getting. It also gives a description and the code. This is more valuable than the help file. Actually - start here with the examples. Makes life SOOOO much easier.
