I am a greenhorn in wxPython, so please don't bet on what I state here, 
but to my current knowledge wxPython doesn't come with a widget capable 
of what Tkinter text box is capable of. But wxPython comes e.g. with a 
widget displaying any HTML content, so if you need only to display and 
not edit things it is a perfect one to use if you need to mix text with 
images and control elements.
