from wx.help import * - what is this?

I'm using wxPython 2.9 and while updating someone's old program (wxPython 2.4) I've come across the import line:

    "from wx.help import *"

I'm not sure what this module is or what it should be replaced with. The program seems to work fine if I just remove this line, but I'm not sure if that also removes anything significant from the program. Any suggestions? Thanks.

No worries. Back before the transition from 'wxPython' to 'wx' as the top-level package name we had a 'help' module in the package that contained wrappers for wxContextHelp, wxHelpProvider, etc. During the transition those items were moved to one of the modules that's imported by default and for a while I think there was a help module that had aliases for those items so wx.help could still be imported.
