I'm not going to repeat the entire post here, but I would like to direct your attention to my friend and former coworker Zach's recent blog post regarding implementing a better ListCtrl via wxWidgets' virtual ListCtrl.
For those familiar with wxPython, what Zach has done is combine wx.ListCtrl and wx.lib.mixins.listctrl.ColumnSorterMixin into a single easy-to-use class. Except, rather than implement it as an entirely new class, he implements a function that transmutes a generic ListCtrl into his new & improved ListCtrl. That advantage here, as he points out, is that you don't need to modify any XRC files to gain the new functionality.
The post is on NTT MCL's recently-introduced company blog which, unfortunately, doesn't appear to accept comments (and says "Japan Window" for some strange reason). As such, I'll point out that Zach also occasionally posts to his own personal blog, which is also worth checking out.
