I haven't responded to your first question about wxPython's 
functionality as compared with that of MFC because I believe that 
Robin Dunn has already done so.

What I was suggesting ~might~ have been useful as a prototype 
for use in elliciting feedback from users and to a much less degree 
understanding the techniques that would be needed. However, it 
appears to me that you might want to make a series of versions 
that start with Python driving MFC and culminate in C++ driving 
MFC. In that case, I think you're probably right.

Good luck!
