So far in my experience, and as I was recommended, the "simpliest, easiest,
most pragmatic approach" has been to forgo MPlot or WxMpl and just embed
directly in wxPython.

This page <http://www.scipy.org/Cookbook/Matplotlib/EmbeddingInWx> discusses
the difference between direct embedding and using
an embedding library, the key difference for you being this sentence:
"An *embedding library* saves you a lot of time and effort by providing
plotting widgets that already support user interactions and other bells and
whistles."  But you don't want such bells and whistles.  There is a link on
that page to this
example<http://www.scipy.org/Matplotlib_figure_in_a_wx_panel>of direct
embedding with wx.  I was able to start
with this and adapt it to my needs.
