Is it possible to enter Greek or mathematical symbols as static text
(labels) on a wxPython widget? Ideally, one could enter TeX code, but any
way that works would do.

Can you support having a complete TeX installation? If so, then running TeX and dvipng, then loading that as a StaticBitmap would work ell (similar to what Matplotlib does)
For that matter, does it need to be dynamic? If not, you can just make the PNGs ahead of time.

Chris,
Already do. I do all my serious writing with LaTeX.

No, it doesn't need to be dynamic. That's a great idea.
Thanks,
Rich

Run the unicode version of wxPython, create a text control widget that
does 'print repr(tc.GetValue())' when its value changes, and type the
character in (or paste it via the Windows character map application,
charmap). Once you have the repr, pass that value to your wx.StaticText
constructor.
Or, you can run a unicode version of wxPython and the source version of
PyPE, or the Windows unicode version of PyPE; they handle the unicode ->
repr stuff for you (see the repr tab on the bottom).

You could use Unicode, i think, my french accents, german umlauts and
stuff worked fine...

Unicode of course has Greek (and every other language); it also comes
with vast quantities of math symbols. Chances are that, if it's in
TeX, it's in Unicode.
