If you're already coding in C++, and think wxPython is too bloated, and 
you were prepared to use pythonwin (win32gui) if only it had more 
features, then I'd say stick with C++, it's not much more difficult than 
using win32gui and will allow you to make your application as fast and 
lightweight as you like.
But if you seriously want to switch to Python, then I'd reconsider 
wxpython.  It is the best python GUI toolkit for your specific purposes 
I think.  It isn't buggy.
