help: HTML window as an OGL block

wxPython Users

I'm very new to wxPython and the OGL libraries that I'm using atm.
Perhaps someone with more experience than me can tell me if what I'm
thinking of is possible.

I'm using OGL in wxpython to move blocks (rectangles) around a canvas
and connect them up with lines. What I would like to do is be able to
have each block contain an HTML window.

Essentially that would just mean that the contents of the rectangle is
an HTML page, but it still behaves like any other OGL object (can be
connected to lines, moved about, respons to events in the same way,
etc.)

Whilst I kind of sounds possible to me, I really have very little idea
about how to do it. I know that wxPython has HTML capabilities, but
how do I embed that into an OGL block?

Anyone with any comments? They would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Unless I've forgotten something I don't think that OGL shapes can embed a wxWindow. It would be nice to have the ability though...
