wxPython doesn't have a built-in support for skinnable controls, it
mainly displays native controls.  You can customize the appearance of
all native controls using desktop themes, of course, but you just want
themes for your one app.

If your entire app is to be skinnable, you might look into lightweight
gui toolkits like pyui.

Otherwise you can just do it yourself using only custom canvas-based
controls like you said (subclass wxWindow or wxPanel).

But see RBskinning here: http://www.runeblade.com/foundation/
I haven't looked at it myself but it says it is for skinning and works
with wxpython.
