title: How to use a contributed C++ wxwidget in wxpython
body: <p>I wrote a small application in wxpython which among other things shows candlestick OHLC plots using matplotlib. However I wanted to increase the perfomance of the charting using instead a compiled C++ component. There is one available for wxwidgets: <a href="http://wxcode.sourceforge.net/components/freechart/" rel="nofollow">freechart</a> which basically does what I want.</p>
  
  <p>Is there a (simple) way to add bindings in a way compatible with wxpython?</p>
  
  <p>It is not necessary for me to make it very complete and cover all options/classes/methods - I'd rather want to be able to use just a very small subset.</p>
  
  <p>I do not want to go the C++ route all the way since I want to reuse the python code that I have and use scripting...</p>
  
  <p>I would be grateful for any pointers to some tutorials/docs on the web. I did not find any so far..</p>
