well, i'm edified.  how about a code example?  isn't there some issue 
about whether a given wxpython build has unicode support?  how do you 
tell?  how do you add it if you don't have it?

if i may paraphrase the OP's question... "can i do greek letters in 
python?".

if i may paraphrase your helpful response..."yes".

cool 'tude though.
