Yes, and C doesn't have garbage collection, and the user is responsible 
for resource use boundary checking.
Kernels aren't libraries either. wxWidgets looks like a derivative of 
MFC or Borland Windows, which were
wrappers for Windows API and explicit while/switch event loops in C. If 
its being offered in python, it should
wrap core dumps in exceptions at least, or better yet,  forget about 
letting the user explicitly deallocate
resources , and  just leave it within the finalising function in garbage 
collection.
