PyQT is great, but... wxPython is free... ;-)

Your own generated code is *not* mixed with the RAD generated one.
The generated code is something like...

class wxFrame1(wxFrame):
     # This is what you add. Basically you are telling that your TreeCtrl
     # have the 'standard' wxTreeCtrl interface.
     _custom_classes={'wxTreeCtrl':['MyTreeCtrl', 'AdvancedTreeCtrl']}

     <generated stuff>

So you subclass your components in different modules, and they are just 
'usable' as standard one in the rad. When in the RAD you are visually 
designing the frame, you can use MyTreeCtrl or AdvancedTreeCtrl as 
specialized TreeCtrl...

But, really, this is only one of boa features.... ;-)
