+<p>The wxPython demo application and most of the sample apps have been
+converted to use the new <tt class="literal"><span class="pre">import</span> <span class="pre">wx</span></tt> style of programming with
+wxPython, so there are lots of examples to look at and to play with.
+Here is one of them, it is the <tt class="literal"><span class="pre">simple</span></tt> sample.</p>
