     wxWindows/wxPython can be compiled with unicode support enabled or
     disabled.  Previous to wxPython 2.3.3 non-unicode mode was always
     used.  Starting with 2.3.3 either mode is supported, but only if

+    it is also available in wxWindows on the platform.  Currently
     wxWindows only supports unicode on MS Windows platforms, but with
     the recent release of GTK+ 2.0 it is only a matter of time until
     it can be done on wxGTK (Linux and other unixes) as well.

     Unicode works best on platforms in the NT branch of the Windows
     family tree (NT, win2k, XP) but it is now also possible to use the
     same unicode binaries on win95/98/ME platforms as well!  This is
-    done by using a special library and DLL in the application called
-    MSLU, (Microsoft Layer for Unicode).  It simply gets out of the

+A little black magic...  When the C++ object (for a window or
+whatever) is deleted there is no way to force the Python shadow object
+to also be destroyed and clean up all references to it.  This leads to
+crashes if the shadow object tries to call a method with the old C++
+pointer.  The black magic I've done is to replace the __class__ in the
+Python instance object with a class that raises an exception whenever
+a method call (or other attribute access) is attempted.  This works
+for any class that is OOR aware.
