Sorry, I had intended to mention this change...  KeyCode has been an
undocumented compatibility alias for GetKeyCode for about 3 years, and
it probably should have been generating a deprecation warning for a long
time now.  If people here prefer it I can switch it back to be an alias
for GetKeyCode and add the deprecation warning.  Or I can leave it as a
property and just mention it in the CHANGES file.

Yesterday I noticed the discussion I introduced a few months ago
http://lists.wxwidgets.org/cgi-bin/ezmlm-cgi?13:msp:327:gklpchpiakmekfjmdngk
has lead to a very pleasant conclusion in wxPy 2.7.

The wxKeyEvents received a .GetModifiers() method. This is really a handy
method, which makes a correct key/char handling much easier and also
a cleaner code.
The use of this method and its advantage for "AltGr keyboards" users is 
emphasized in the wxWidgets/wxPython help file.
It will worth to write some words about this in the CHANGES files too.

Beside this, I agree for a depracating KeyCode() method. All methods are mainly
Get*** methods.
