// We don't want the Python user to ever need to deal directly with wxString
// at all, so it will be mapped to and from Python Unicode objects using the
// code snippets below.
// NOTE: Currently we assume that string objects are encoded in utf-8.

    // share the conversion code here and in the utlities module?
