XRC requires that a wxXmlResourceHandler class be written in order to 
support creating instances of a class from XRC, and one hasn't been 
written for the STC class yet.  You can create a resource handler class 
for it from Python if you wish, check the demo for an example. 
Otherwise using the unknown control type would be the way to go.
