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