I already use such a thing with PyPE (pype.sf.net).  See
plugins/window_management.py and plugins/documents.py (DocumentPanel).

It isn't exactly what you are looking for, but it does show how one
can use sizers, obj1.Hide(), obj2.Show(), and obj1.GetParent().Layout()
to show and hide wxPython controls via mouse click.  That particular
piece of code handles the swapping of 4 different panels at the same
time.
