some.

yup. You can build a wxImage from a buffer, and numpy provides a buffer 
interface, so they end up with them sharing the same memory, as long as 
your numpy array is contiguous 24 rgb.

I've enclosed a sample that generates a wx.Image from a numpy array, 
then every time you push the button, the array is altered in-place, and 
you can see the image change.

( think you need at least wxPython 2.8 for this to work)
