Actually, it's not all that bad. The 'ghetto' is already the
MTInteractiveShell, and it's easy to avoid that by just using standard
InteractiveShell in a single-threaded fashion. And since Brian already
implemented the PyOS_InputHook for wx, it's just a matter of putting
it under extensive testing.

Note that now that wx can also supports this, you can throw in twisted
wxreactor and it should work out of the box.
