 I htink that there is such an overwhelming amount of stuff in a UI toolkit 
that it is impossible to create a how-to. Instead, what is needed is a whole 
series of smaller how-tos for various situations. I mean, there are literally 
thousands upon thousands of UI behaviors to work with, and no way to describe 
how to work with low-level drawing primitives in the same document as how to 
process a menu selection.

 According to one of the authors, Noel Rappin: "It'll be called _wxPython In 
Action_ by Noel Rappin and Robin Dunn.  I was told to expect that it would be 
released in November, but the exact date will depend on how quickly we can 
turn around the production."

 So while it's still a little ways off, it's certainly within sight!
