Following up on this, I did

  svn checkout http://svn.wxwidgets.org/svn/wx/wxWidgets/trunk wxWidgets
  cd wxWidgets/doc/doxygen
  ./regen.sh
  python doxymlparser.py --report out/xml/classwx_button.xml
 
Attached is the XML file (input) and the output of this script.

Here is a small extract of the output:

  Class: wxButton
  Bases: wxControl
  Inlcudes: []
  Brief Description:

  Method: SetLabel
  Return Type: void
  Params: [{u'type': u'const&', u'declname': u'label'}]
