What it builds

A SearchFrame subclassing wx.Frame, with a toolbar, bitmap buttons, ids from wx.NewId() and a small CmdDispatcher that routes events to handlers — searching the BiBTeX collection built in part three and listing the results. The tutorial's real subject is the shape of an event-driven desktop application: constructing components, giving them identity, and connecting events to the code that handles them.

Where it sits

It closes the four-part series, and the thing it puts a face on is biblio.py.
