Perhaps you could use a Grid control with a single column? It appears to handle (on linux at least) large numbers of entries. It also has built in support for Ctrl+C to copy the contents of the selected rows to the clipboard as long as there is either a single selected row or a single selected block of contiguous rows. If there are more than one non-contiguous selected rows or blocks, a warning dialog is displayed.

class MyFrame(wx.Frame):
def __init__(self, *args, **kwds):
wx.Frame.__init__(self, *args, **kwds)
self.SetSize((1900, 300))
self.SetTitle("Grid Control")
self.panel = wx.Panel(self, wx.ID_ANY)
sizer = wx.BoxSizer(wx.VERTICAL)
self.grid = wx.grid.Grid(self.panel, wx.ID_ANY)
self.grid.CreateGrid(0, 1)

self.grid.SetColLabelSize(30)
self.grid.SetDefaultColSize(1900, True)

self.grid.SetSelectionMode(wx.grid.Grid.SelectRows)

num_rows = 100000
self.grid.AppendRows(num_rows)
for r in range(num_rows):
self.grid.SetCellValue(r, 0, f"{r} {long_text}")
self.grid.GoToCell(num_rows-1, 0)

Below is an attempt at overriding the built in Ctrl+C handler to support non-contiguous rows. It appears to work on linux.
