yes it does work fine with wxpython, i tested it briefly today.

Yes i know about those examples but i want something more complex which 
involves using sizers and grids and there it gets more confusing.

ok here you are some info : I am working in two levels, on the one hand 
i am part of this project to develop experimental interfaces for music . 
www.ixi-software.net
as a part of that we have been developing over the last couple of years 
a python graphic toolkit to create our applications, this is the result 
so far http://www.ixi-software.net/mirra
It uses pygame by default but in a second step of the development I want 
to be able to have a opengl canvas in a specific area of the application 
and have normal wxpython GUI elements such as buttons, menus, drag and 
drop etc... This is where i am now.

Up to now i was working on PD for the sound engine using OSC to 
communicate. But recently I decided to give a go to ChucK as I was 
frustrated with some issues on PD. Since I discovered the joys of ChucK 
I am working towards integrating Mirra+ChucK, this is the application i 
am developing at the moment where I am testing the whole system. 
http://devel.goto10.org/svn/ixi/python/slicer
The chuck patch is in the data folder, not very complex stuff yet. 
Hopefully once I get the wxpython right again (it was ok but stopped 
working at some point) it will have a menu, status bar and importing 
dialogues. And again all this has to work in all platforms ...

:)
