Definitely worth a look. If you don't find functionality in the GUI that you can get with a wx control, send an email to Dabo-dev and we'll see what we can do about adding the control to Dabo. When WxPython 2.8 comes out, we should even have some new widgets to wrap. Just another word of caution to use WxPython 2.6.x until Dabo has been fixed for use in 2.7 and 2.8.
