Yes, wxPython has one.  (At least on Windows, wxPython simply wraps
the native Windows tree control; the wxGTK version may be a clone, as
I'm not sure whether or not GTK *has* a native tree control.)

Any tree control is going to be specific to some GUI toolkit, just as
any other GUI widget is specific for a single toolkit.  There's just
too much involved to make it even remotely practical to create
multi-toolkit widgets.  Any time you're creating a graphical
front-end, you will have to pick some toolkit and use that kit's
widgets and architecture.  Even if that "toolkit" is HTML rendered in
a browser.

Let us know how you're planning on rendering this application
on-screen, and maybe we can help out a bit more.
