I'm a little confused on the license for wxpython. Am I allowed to
distribute an application in a commercial environment that makes use of
wxpython?
Is there some place that provides an overview of the license, much like
on the python site? http://python.org/psf/license/

Yes.

Check out the folder license folder, on a Windows install this is in:
C:\Python25\Lib\site-packages\wx-2.8-msw-unicode\docs\licence
Especially the preamble.txt file.

IANAL but this is how I would describe it in a nutshell and in real world terminology: You can use wxPython for the development of an Open or Closed source application that is distributed for Free or for Money. With no obligations. You can not claim that wxWidgets or wxPython are your inventions, and you should give attribution in your application's documentation or About dialog. If you make changes to wxWidgets or wxPython themselves that are distributed with your application then you should make those changes available to the wx projects.
Did I miss anything? Oh yeah, some legalese: "The above statements are just the ramblings of a partially informed non-lawyerly type person and are intended only for educational and entertainment purposes. For the true and final binding contractual language please refer to the license docs previously mentioned."
