How to create wx.Bitmap from "xpm data"?

According to the page at http://www.wxwidgets.org/manuals/2.6/wx_wxbitmap.html#wxbitmapctor,
one can create a wx.Bitmap from "XPM data".  However, I can't
find even a hint as to what wxPython expects "XPM data" to be.

The obvious answer would be it's what's in an .xpm file, but
that doesn't work.  I've tried manipulating the contents of the
.xpm file a half-dozen different ways, but no matter what I
try, wx.Bitmap() always returns a bitmap with a size of -1,-1
instead of 24,24.

What's the expected format of "XPM data" for wx.Bitmap()?
