ritchie~$ du -sh /usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/wx/tools/Editra 
/usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/wx/tools/XRCed

Gaining 10M may be worth it, but...

making those programs more visible is what matters most IMHO.  I would
support such a move.

However... my tries to update wxPython to the latest 4.x upstream
release were painful (we're using the last "classic", 3.0.x release).
I'm not sure it's a good idea to make the port more complicated *now*. :)
