It's really unclear what you're asking here, which is why I think no
one has responded. Are you trying to call EmbeddPyWxWindow from
Python? (In which case you need a way to represent a wxWindow* in
Python, e.g. a cdef class or c-capsule or something.

hmm -- i"m a big Cython fan, but wxPython is built with SWIG, and
already gives you a pretty full wrapper around the C++ wx -- I"m not
sure there is a role for Cython here at all.

The only real "trick" here is to make sure you have a single version
of the C++ wx lib -- and that it's the patched version that works with
wxPython.

And if you don't like SWIG, the new (experimental version released)
version of wxPython used SIP instead (Robin looked at Cython, but with
such a big library, auto-generation of bindings was a compelling need
-- Cython doesn't have that (yet?)

So what role do you see Cython playing here?


One othere note:

Why have C++ as the host? It'd be a lot easier to write your app in
Python -- you may have very little need for C++ at all, and if you do,
it's easier to write a few extensions than to embed Python in C++.
