|phoenix_title|  **BusyCursor**
==========================================================================================================================================

This class makes it easy to tell your user that the program is temporarily busy.          

Just create a :ref:`BusyCursor`  object on the stack, and within the current scope, the hourglass will be shown. 

For example: 

::

        wait = wx.BusyCursor()
    
        for i in xrange(10000):
            DoACalculation()

        del wait



It works by calling :func:`BeginBusyCursor`  in the constructor, and :func:`EndBusyCursor`  in the destructor.
