Another reason why wxPython has no seperate documentation is probably 
that "translating" the C++ oriented documentation is a major effort 
(there is a lot of documentation) and there is only a small team 
working on wxPython. Because the existing documentation is usuable 
enough it is understandable that they choose to work on improving 
wxPython instead of translating the existing documentation.

The same issue can be seen with wrappers for other large libraries.
