When I've created this type of thing I usually start with a wx.Panel. 
It will depend on how you plan to use your new mega-widget, but I
suspect that the wx.Panel gives you the most flexibility.  You can
throw a panel pretty much anywhere and it seems to work just fine. :)

PS:  Congrats on giving wxPython a try.  It's far from the perfect
framework, but it seems the most Pythonic to me and lets me get the
most accomplished with the least setup.  YMMV.
