That sounds really simple.
I've to admit, that I never investigated the possibilities,
because on the wxPython list, this is the usual answer:

 "Both wxpython and vpython are great tools, which I'd love to use 
together for my program. The problem is they each run their own event 
loop. Now almighty Google taught me there were some ancient threads on 
the topic stating it would be very hard to combine the two."

If I've some more time I'll certainly will try it.

btw, does anyone has a (working) example of wxPython + VPython ?

thanks again,
Stef Mientki
