create multiple classes with wxFormBuilder for python

I'm using wxFormBuilder to write a series of GUI applications. So far it has worked wonderfully, but the documentation on their homepage is a broken link.

What I'd like to do is combine my programs into one program, each as a different tab in a wxNotebook. However, I can only get wxFormBuilder to generate one class, the class for my frame. Ideally, what I'd like is for each panel to be its own class, so then I can override each class individually, and not be stuck with one giant class which contains all the event handlers for 5 different applications.

Is this possible with wxFormBuilder? Is there a different program which would allow me to do this more easily?

I'm open to other wx programs, but can't departure from Python, and I'd really rather not have to write the wx code by hand.

Some people like wxGlade, Boa Constructor (old) or XRCed (included with wxPython). You might experiment with those. I've heard good things about wxFormBuilder, so I'm a little surprised it doesn't have that capability. Here are some links: http://www.oneminutepython.com/

Hope that helps a little.
