"""


When this script is run it will create a .py module (output to the
current directory) containing a class derived from
wx.activex.ActiveXWindow for the progID or CLSID given on the command
line.  By default the class name will be used as the module name as
well, but this is just because I am lazy, not trying to define a
standard or anything.  Feel free to rename the module, I do.

Usage:

    python genax.py CLSID|progID className
