[Twisted-Python] Re: Twisted and wxPython on windows

[Philippe Lafoucrière]

In documentation :
"WxPython

As with Tkinter, the support for integrating Twisted with a WxPython 
application uses specialized support code rather than a simple reactor.

from wxPython.wx import *
from twisted.internet import wxsupport, reactor

myWxAppInstance = MyWxApp(0)
wxsupport.install(myWxAppInstance)
reactor.run()"

And I have seen a wxsupport(app) in the API documentation, but can't find it 
again.
