Can anyone *point* me in the right direction for how to turn the mouse pointer into an hourglass (and back) so that the user knows the program is still working (ie. for database queries to return)?
googling for wxpython mouse pointer returns a lot of hits but nothing I could immediately see as relevant.

That's probably because the standard name for "mouse pointer" is "cursor". Check the wxWindows docs for wxBeginBusyCursor() and wxEndBusyCursor(). You can probably figure out fancier things to do with the cursor from there.
