Well, I don't know version 2.6.x but I had some trouble with 2.4. I was
trying to mass-hide buttons, which was possible with .detach() or .hide()
(or was it .show(False)?). This was explained in the documentation, but in
the release I had, was a bug somewhere and the widgets had no .detach()
function. Robin Dunn said it will be fixed in the next release.. but that
release came months later. But I know that the release cycles had got a lot
faster in the meantime.

To replace Tkinter? No problem with that :)

Oh, I see, there seems to be a more pythonic wrapper for wx: wax..
