+"A wx.DataFormat is an encapsulation of a platform-specific format
+handle which is used by the system for the clipboard and drag and
+drop operations. The applications are usually only interested in,
+for example, pasting data from the clipboard only if the data is
+in a format the program understands.  A data format is is used to
+uniquely identify this format.
+
+On the system level, a data format is usually just a number
+(CLIPFORMAT under Windows or Atom under X11, for example).");

+// The standard format IDs are
+
+//     wx.DF_INVALID       An invalid format
+//     wx.DF_TEXT          Text format 
+//     wx.DF_BITMAP        A bitmap (wx.Bitmap)
+//     wx.DF_METAFILE      A metafile (wx.Metafile, Windows only)
+//     wx.DF_FILENAME      A list of filenames
+//     wx.DF_HTML          An HTML string. This is only valid on Windows and non-unicode builds
+
+// Aside the standard formats, the application may also use
+// custom formats which are identified by their names (strings)
+// and not numeric identifiers. Although internally custom format
+// must be created (or registered) first, you shouldn\'t care
