    Probably bugs. They are totally separate implementations so it's not surprising that they have diverged somewhat over time.

As I recall, you have to go to Trac and report the bug. If you don't have a login, you'll need to create one. Before you submit the bug, make sure to check and see if it's already there. I think they usually want a sample program too. Here's the link to Trac:

And here's some directions on making sample apps: http://wiki.wxpython.org/MakingSampleApps

The wxTreeListCtrl is hosted at the wxCode project at sourceforge, and I take periodic snapshots of the code there for integrating it into wxPython. I don't think it has been updated in a very long time.
