+wx_create.py
+
+Originally written by David Hughes  <dfh@forestfield.co.uk>
+Massivly hacked by Robin Dunn
+
+This automatically creates all the stub modules that are required in
+the wx package in addition to __init__.py
+
+The module names to make stubs for are found by scanning the wxPython
+package directory.  The default directory searched is ../wxPython, but
+you can specify a different one on the command-line if needed.
+
+The content of each module (.py file) is taken from wxmodule_template
+with appropriate substitution of the %name% tokens
