Me too, generally. But in this case I'm conflicted. Your FreeRIDE

But this means that if they grab a wxWindows book off the shelf, or if
they are trying to use a wxPython program as a sample, they will always
have to perform the mental translation themselves.

When working with the RubyGTK library, I really appreciated being able
to use any of the C documents out on the web.

Maybe the best answer is to provide GetPosition and get_position (and 
perhaps getPosition), as aliases of each other.

I don't think the extra level helps. Wx.message_box is better.

Still hoping for more opinions...
