I've also had issues with Vista... mine have to do with the execution of 
scripts. I don't have a test vista box in front of me right now, all of 
my vmware vistas have deactivated me into 'reduced functionality mode'. 
  Basically, on XP, when I execute a script it runs in the directory 
that it executed in, but in Vista, it executes elsewhere... I don't 
remember where exactly right off the top of my head. Other than that 
issue it seems to work fine even with wxPython.
