Are you a Maya developer?  If not then talk to them to make sure they 
allow their wx to be accessed from an embedded Python.  If you are a Mya 
developer, then take a look at the embedded sample in the wxPython 
samples dir.  In a nutshell you just need to make your C++ wx app like 
normal, initialize the embedded Python interpreter, and use some magic 
API functions to pass wx objects to and from Python code as needed.  The 
key is to make sure that the wxPython extension modules are using the 
same wx DLLs or shared libraries as the wx C++ app.
