Suggestions:
1. Switch to Carbon (as it seems to be the default for wx people)
2. Write your own C extension that cast the Handle from a Cocoa window
and call it from python layer (untrivial), or simply hack your way in
wxPython source to modify the culprit function + recompile (you'll not
be able to distribute your python app only, you'll have to ship your
custom wx libs, at least on Mac).
3. Get the wxVTK src from http://wxvtk.sf.net and wrap it to python
(non-trivial either IMHO, because of multiple inheritance)

Use Qt :)
