If it communicates entirely through messages, then it's likely not a
Delphi component at all, and instead a native (to Windows)
implementation and the Delphi component you've used is simply a
wrapper around the messaging API. If that's the case, then you can
probably use it directly in wxPython, using ctypes. Confirm this with
your component vendor by finding out if it's usable from C using the
Windows API.
