+
+ wx.ConfigBase organizes the items in a tree-like structure
+ (modeled after the Unix/Dos filesystem). There are groups
+ (directories) and keys (files). There is always one current
+ group given by the current path. As in the file system case, to
+ specify a key in the config class you must use a path to it.
+ Config classes also support the notion of the current group,
+ which makes it possible to use relative paths.
+
+ Keys are pairs "key_name = value" where value may be of string, integer
+ floating point or boolean, you can not store binary data without first
+ encoding it as a string. For performance reasons items should be kept small,
+ no more than a couple kilobytes.
