Hmm. I'm a longtime user of wxPython, and an occasional user of MPL. 
Given the kind of work I do, it's only a matter of time before I need to 
embed MPL in wxPython. So I've been keeping an eye on your work, but not 
really using it.

However, I'd love to have a nice natural way to use MPL in wx, and WxMPL 
seems to be designed just for that. I think I probably agree with you 
that using the native wx events make sense. I can imagine a lot of ways 
in which one would want to integrate MPL-related events with other parts 
of the application.
