wxPython vs other toolkits

I think wxPython's documentation is pretty bad. There may be a large
quantity of machine-generated docs, but actually useful documentation
is hard to come by when you need anything more than basic information.

I agree with that, however, the wxWidgets documentation is fantastic,
so once I realized that finding what I was looking for became easier.

wxPython's method of handling events can be maddening. And while it
does make a really good attempt at making it easy to do cross-platform
apps, that means you are sometimes limited by their definition of how
a platform behaves. If you want to create something unique it can be
quite a challenge.

I've heard this from several people, but I can't really figure out
why? Granted I've only ever done gui work in Java Swing...
