Flash needs a window to play in.  wxPython is probably the easiest way
to get that window, but you can also create windows using win32ui and
PythonWin.  PythonWin is a relatively thin layer around MFC.  If you've
done MFC for years, that might feel more comfortable.  There are samples
in the python-win32 distribution.

However, in the long term, I suspect you'd be happier with wxPython...
