I have no idea. There are many issues such as: do you design for the
utter newbie, or do you design for the power user? On this issue,
sizers are such a fundamental thing that are used throughout UI code
that after one or two apps the parameters and what they do should be
second nature. In the editor, I find the tooltips distracting more
often than I find them helpful, whereas a newbie might use them all
of the time.
Personally, I would prefer a wiki page with this information that
could be a single click away. When I'm writing wxPython code, I have
a browser open to the docs so that when I get stuck, I can see the
docs with a click or two. Otherwise, they're out of the way until I
need them.
