It's a total kludge, but I do find myself doing things like:

 >>> import wx.aui
 >>> for i in dir(wx.aui):
...     if "EVT" in i: print i
...
EVT_AUINOTEBOOK_ALLOW_DND
EVT_AUINOTEBOOK_BEGIN_DRAG
EVT_AUINOTEBOOK_BUTTON
EVT_AUINOTEBOOK_DRAG_MOTION
EVT_AUINOTEBOOK_END_DRAG
.
.
.

you do still need to figure out what of those you need.

I also find grepping the html docs to be useful.

A major effort to improve the wxPython specific docs would be great, but 
someone needs to do it!
