In wxPython the EVT_THINGS are not macros like in C++, or even functions 
like they used to be in earlier versions, but are instances of the 
wx.PyEventBinder class.  They encapsulate what is needed to make the 
connection between a type of event, the event target and a handler.

Yes.

Longer answer: Sort of.

It boils down to essentially just a wrapper around the C++ 
wxEvtHandler::Connect method.  It just hides some of the more mundane 
details that you don't need to know about from wxPython.  So for 
example, instead of typing this:

     self.Connect(someItem.GetId(), wx.ID_ANY, 
wx.wxEVT_COMMAND_MENU_SELECTED, self.OnDoSomething)

you can use this:

     self.Bind(wx.EVT_MENU, self.OnDoSomething, someItem)
