Greetings,
For wxPython there are some options you might look into--I would assume 
that the VTK C++ libraries have the same classes, as the Python classes 
just wrap C++. The Atamai classes for VTK-Python include a module called 
wxPaneFrame which allows a RenderPane to be used with wxPython. The 
Atamai classes can be downloaded from 
www.atamai.com/atamai_Downloads.html. There is some documentation online 
at www.imaging.robarts.ca/coders. Go to the Classes and Examples link, 
and then to the link which says Atamai Documentation. From what I can 
tell, most people working with VTK on OSX are using Python/Tkinter, but 
I've had nothing but problems with Tkinter.
Also, look in the 
/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/Current/lib/Python*.*/site-packages/vtk_python/vtk/wx 
directory. There is a class called wxVTKRenderWindow.py and a 
wxVTKRenderWindowInteractor.py. In the */site-packages/wxPython/lib 
directory there is a class called vtk.py which you should take a look at.
