I use WX too, and it seems that you pretty much pay a fixed price for 
importing the modlue, no matter how much you need or how big your program 
is. I'd think most other frameworks would have the same problem, an easy 
way to tell would be something like:

print "Loading wxPython...",
from wxPython.wx import *
print "done"

... I bet most of your execuation time for a hello world program would be 
between those prints.
