Each "presenter" (instance) needs its own "view" (instance). The class
attribute references a wxPython class. The resulting instance attribute
references a wxPython object (widget or container).

The view instance is not known at design time; it can only be created at
runtime. To do this requires doing so in the __init__() method, either
in a separate version method for every different presenter class, or
once in the superclass, as I have done.
