May I recommend that you take a look at the Dabo project? While they
have a full application framework for creating database applications,
you can easily just use the dabo.ui module, which wraps wxPython. This
eliminates most of the C++ cruft that wxPython inherited from
wxWidgets, and makes for a much more Pythonic experience.

I worked with wxPython for a couple of years, and looked at Dabo based
on a recommendation on the wxPython list. Since then, I haven't
written a single app using raw wxPython; I use the dabo.ui module for
all my GUI applications. It gives you all the advantages of wxPython,
but it just works better.
