Create iPhone like screen effects with wxPython?

Just saw a demo of the Apple iPhone's interface and was impressed by the
screen transitions that occur when one turns a page or deletes an item.

Is wxPython fast enough (or have the right hooks to underlying OS GUI
components) to implement similar effects?

Thank you,

Malcolm

We don't have wx access to the CoreAnimation APIs yet, but it has been discussed. wxPython would probably be fast enough for most things however if you wanted to try some home-grown effects, like an animated move of child widgets, or perhaps some animated 3D view of some data model via OpenGL (using the wx.glcanvas.GLCanvas widget.)

Does 'yet' mean that this is a potential future feature of wxPython?

Yes, but but there are no real plans yet.
