If you are looking for Windows installers then, yes. See:john san said:

http://www.wxpython.org/download.php#binaries
If you are really looking for dos binaries, I guess you need to
build them yourself.

Hans Nowak built some old DOS binaries... although I believe on his
website he points to a more 'modern' projects. Sorry - restricted
internet or I would check for you.

Are you actually still running a pure DOS machine? Or are you running
the dos prompt through Windows?

Any reason you're asking about wxPython for "DOS"? Just curious.

pure DOS, old pc, used for teaching . want show some "windows" under DOS
(under Python).

Just want to show "windows" under dos without MsWindows. Also find some
difficulty to simply install WxPython under directory(DOS) and then run,
which is very good thing if it is just like Java.
I want a simple solution for Python to install to DOS and then can have
"Windows" running.( to be used under mod-xbox which support only limited
python via using xboxmediacenter. (xbox using stripped NT OS).

I don't think you'll have any luck finding wxPython for DOS. A bit of
a looksee around the wxWidgets website (wxPython is a wrapper for
wxWidgets) mentions being available for Win3.1 and up, as well as
various levels of *nix installs (wxGTK, wxMotif, wxX11), but no
mention of DOS. I suppose that a very ambitious person could perhaps
get the wxUniversal port to run on DOS, but I presume that this would
be far from trivial.
On the other hand, you probably could find and/or create some sort of
basic text-only windowing library. It won't be wxPython, nor anything
even close to that level of sophistication, but that's what happens
when you insist on using an OS that's been obsolete for a decade or
more.

Actually the "windows" running very good under the xbox-NTOS via
xboxmediacenter. its just limited functions(not easy to programming the
"windows" prog.), if we can find WxPython-like can be ported (I can import *
from it to my xboxPython) )it will be a great great ......... You will have
HD screen and web surfing on HDTV and computing on HDTV. think about it!
That is a real thing the python-like lang. should to do otherwise just a
garbage(toy).

Of course you can install Linux on xbox but its too "heavy" to the box.
Since the box already has the OS and we have the prog which support the
"Python" , what we need now is only let that "Python" can be easy to coding
and to show windows-like program.

yes. u need mod-xbox. since its be easy done and we already have OS,
"Python" support what we need now is only that "Python" can easy to coding
and show "window" program just like wt we can do under Windows.

You can't. DOS does not allow for graphical output - at least not in a way
python supports it by standard toolkits like wxPython. That has nothing to
do with python, btw. You won't find anything else that can do that - apart
from some really old legacy toolkits that certainly aren't available today.
Use either Linux with frambuffer output (see freevo) or a "real" Windows
that is capable of showing a graphical ui.
Maybe somehow the pygame sdl wrapper can be used for gui-stuff. SDL has had
a DOS mode. But it is discontinued.

Curses is a *nix interface. There are attempts at a work-alike
package for Windows, which by all reports are not very successful.
Whether any of those would maintain their already-limited
functionality under DOS is questionable.
There *are* similar-but-not-compatible libraries for DOS... or perhaps
I should say *were*, because I have no idea where one might find such
a thing now. (Though I presume that Google would be the best starting
place.) One would then need to find/create a Python wrapper for that
library...
