I believe there is a very big difference in speed. The speed of
development in wxPython is considerably greater than the speed of
development in wxWidgets due to python expressiveness. Regarding the
SWIG overhead in execution speed… I don’t think it matters, sure
there are some cycles spent in the glue layer BUT I believe that the
perceived slowness of a wxPython application (if it exists) has
nothing to do with those wasted cycles due to SWIG but it is rather due
to poor programming practices. I found that if I write sloppy code the application is slow, if I do a little bit of design… things start to pick speed… and if I use a pen and paper before I start coding… I have no speed problems whatsoever.

does anyone know how much overhead wxpython has compared to wxwidgets? is there
any significant or measurable speed differences? it would also be great of
there was an application in written in wxpython and wxwidgets that couldcompared side-by-side.
thanks for any info you have on this.
