potential problems are that the C++ side of the "stock-objects"

the wx.App object is created, so you should not use them until after

-created will probably result in a crash.)
+you have created your wx.App object. If you do then an exception will

Also, you will probably not be able to do any kind of GUI or bitmap
operation unless you first have created an app object, (even on
Change it like so::
- myCustomEventType = wxNewEventType()
- EVT_MY_CUSTOM_EVENT = wxPyEventBinder(myCustomEventType, 1)
+ myCustomEventType = wx.NewEventType()
+ EVT_MY_CUSTOM_EVENT = wx.PyEventBinder(myCustomEventType, 1)
The second parameter is an integer in [0, 1, 2] that specifies the
number of IDs that are needed to be passed to Connect.
You shouldn't need to migrate all your modules over to use the new
package and names right away as there are modules in place that try to
provide as much backwards compatibility of the names as possible. If
