integration a usb cam

Hi

I want to integrate the preview window of an usb camera in a wxPython
app.

I know the 2 following libs dealing with a camera.
- pyVideo: it works quite well, but the compiled version is only avaible
  for python 2.3. And sometimes it produces a crash when ending the app.
- VideoCapture: it's avaible for 2.4 but it has some really bothersome
  limitations, eg. there isn't a method (show|hide)Preview

But both show a separate window for the preview. So before I get in
contact with the developers - is there a way to integrate the preview
window in wxPython? And it'd be great if I can put the property windows
in a notebook control.

Maybe the new lib DirectPython is a way? Another way would be getting
the image from the camera and blitting it to a static image. But I think
this would be rather slow.

At the moment my main concern is windows, but later linux will get more
important...

Thanks for your help
