Hi Alex,=20

There's a hint in the sample/multicolumnexample.py in the comments at
the head.
Playing around a bit with that, I think you pass in a list like
[ ["header", width, format], ...]
width is an integer value :
-1 =3D auto_size
positive value is an actual column width
(note you must have ALL columns set to auto_size to get autosizing)

format is one of
wxLIST_FORMAT_LEFT : 0
wxLIST_FORMAT_RIGHT : 1
wxLIST_FORMAT_CENTRE : 2
