Was there a problem using pygame and wx under win2k? I never noticed, and I've 
been using them together for about 6 months, I will disect your code and see 
what is different when I get some time (and sleep, it's nearly midnight here 
and still a lot to do..)

The one problem I have had is that if I process pygame events 
(pygame.event.pump(), pygame.event.get()) they will work for a short time 
(around 10 secondsish) then lock up inside one or the other.
I call these from within a wxtimer event, at either 10Hz or 1HZ (this is not a 
game, so 10Hz is plenty), but have just noticed this problem, so have not 
looked too deeply (I processed no events prior to this and I did not need 
them).
