wxPoint and wxSize can be subclassed to allow any arithmetical operation and 
unit conversion with propietary methods.

Seems to be unessary creating independent data. Simply:
lsLayers = tuple([(idl, brd.BOARD_GetStandardLayerName(idl)) for idl in 
range(brd.LAYER_ID_COUNT)])
lsCuLayers = tuple(filter(lambda idl, layerName: layerName.endswith('.Cu'), 
lsLayers))
