wxPython support non-GUI classes from wxWidgets?

[USCode]

I've been poking around the wxPython website and am unclear if wxPython has
a wrapper for ALL wxWidget classes or just the GUI-related classes? Does
wxPython also provide a python wrapper for the wxWidget non-GUI classes such
as: ODBC, printing, threading, interprocess communication, XML, streams,
etc.

I realize Python provides many of these facilities natively but through
wxPython, can I use the wxWidget versions instead?

Thanks!

The docs, somewhere, note that primarily only the functionality that
is *not* duplicated by existing Python functionality is provided.
I believe that includes at least XML, threading, and anything to do
with networking, and probably other things. (Going entirely by
memory here, from the last time I read this stuff, well over a
year ago. I can find the exact location of the notes, if you aren't
able to.)

Thanks Peter. I guess what confused me was that the wxPython doc refers to
the wxWidgets doc as it's official documentation. But elsewhere on the
wxPython site it implies that only the GUI wxWidget functionality has Python
wrappers provided. Is there a list somewhere of all the wxWidget classes
that have wxPython wrappers currently available?

That could be a good question for the wxPython mailing list.

In lieue of other info, the directories in the wxPython installation
would probably be pretty revealing in that respect, if not comprehensive.
