I looked at your query a couple of times, and I don't see wxPython 
listed there anywhere.  You don't need SWIG or Boost or anything else -- 
that's what wxPython is.

Instead of just getting wxWidgets, get wxPython, which includes 
wxWidgets as a black box underneath.

binaries here:  http://wxpython.org/download.php#binaries
dos here:  http://www.wxpython.org/docs/api/wx-module.html

Of course, the catch is that this whole project supports Python 2.4 
through 2.6.  If you want to get it to work on 3.1, you have to either 
wait, or do it yourself.
