wxWindow and its descendants have a GetHandle method.

"""
wxWindow::GetHandle
void* GetHandle() const

Returns the platform-specific handle of the physical window. Cast it to 
an appropriate handle, such as HWND for Windows, Widget for Motif or 
GtkWidget for GTK.

wxPython note: This method will return an integer in wxPython.

Within Tkinter, there is apparently an inner and outer window:

"""
you should be able to use wm_frame() (aka frame()) to
get hold of the outer window:

     inner = w.winfo_id()
     outer = string.atoi(w.wm_frame(), 0)

(wm_frame() returns the handle as a hex string).

Note that if the window hasn't been reparented by the
"window manager", both methods return the same window
handle.

I hope this what you were after (I'm not familiar with "MFC handles")
