Yes. Some kind of "flow" Sizer has been asked for numerous times.

How do you specify that? In fact, if you need to specify it, then you 
might as well use one of the grid sizers. I'd rather see the newline 
calculated according to how much space there is available.

 From your blog, in which I don't see the line breaks specified:

    def __init__(self):
         Form.__init__(self)
         self.ALayout = TayLayout()
         self.ALayout.parent = self

         self.textbox = self.ALayout.addNewTextBox("The Default 
Text",True,150,0)
         self.label = self.ALayout.addNewLabel("StarGate")
         self.piccy = self.ALayout.addNewPictureBox("title.gif", True, 
244, 88)
         self.button1 = self.ALayout.addNewButton("Press Me")
         self.button2 = self.ALayout.addNewCheckBox("Some option")
         self.button3 = self.ALayout.addNewButton("OK", False)
         self.button4 = self.ALayout.addNewButton("Cancel", False)
         self.button5 = self.ALayout.addNewButton("Apply", False)

         # Finally set the size of the Form.
         self.ALayout.Complete()
