You'd probably be better off just using (to follow your example)
wxWindows.  If the app is C/C++ based, rather loose the Python
overhead for the GUI, and build the GUI straight in C/C++.

There are a few tools out there that will enable you to do both
though.  wxDesigner is a (AFAIK commercial) RAD GUI builder that you
can use for either C/C++ or python (via wxWindows / wxPython
respectively), or there is also the QT toolkit (non-commercial
versions available) which includes the qtDesigner, a C/C++ GUI builder
that has python bindings.  Both of the above solutions will allow you
to prototype GUI's in python, but still (later) compile the GUI as
C/C++ to gain the extra speed, and (generally) lower overhead of
compiled GUI code.
