  47 The wxEditor class implements a simple text editor using wxPython.  You
  48 can create a custom editor by subclassing wxEditor.  Even though much of
  49 the editor is implemented in Python, it runs surprisingly smoothly on
  50 normal hardware with small files.
  51
  52 How to use it
  53 -------------
  54 The demo code (demo/wxEditor.py) shows how to use wxEditor as a simple text
  55 box. Use the SetText() and GetText() methods to set or get text from
  56 the component; these both use a list of strings.
  57
  58 The samples/FrogEdit directory has an example of a simple text editor
  59 application that uses the wxEditor component.
  60
  61 Subclassing
  62 -----------
  63 To add or change functionality, you can subclass this
  64 component. One example of this might be to change the key
  65 Alt key commands. In that case you would (for example) override the
  66 SetAltFuncs() method.
