It depends on what you want to do.  wx.Grid allows you to draw anything
on a cell, so you can draw your gauge directly.  I have personally used
percent displays with color changes on list controls for the entire cell
and have been fairly happy.  You could also use one of the grid sizers 
(GridBagSizer, FlexGridSizer) and embed all of your controls directly. 
If you are trying for some firefox-download-like list of rows, etc., you
could create a custom row object, and use a wx.BoxSizer(wx.VERTICAL) to
lay out their orientation relative to each other.
