There's a bit of sample code in OpenGLContext/bin (yes, yes, I know, 
part of PyOpenGL, which you don't want) that does a 
VRML-97-scenegraph-rendering window + a shell (you'll need the latest 
CVS version to work with modern wxPythons).  There's commented out code 
that inserted a tree (to show the scenegraph as a tree, but I haven't 
got that finished).

Other options:

    * I think Pivy (Coin/Inventor wrapper) could likely be embedded in
      PyQt (it has a Qt-based window operation IIRC) if that's an
      acceptable compromise.
    * http://www.python-ogre.org/wiki/DownloadsPage seems to suggest
      there's an example for using Ogre with wxPython/wxWidgets.
    * http://panda3d.org/phpbb2/viewtopic.php?=&p=11555 suggests there's
      a way to get panda3d and wxPython working together

I don't see a soya + wxPython page in a few seconds of googling, so I 
guess finding that is left as an exercise for the reader.

HTH,
Mike
