One thing I'd be concerned about is that upstream wxPython only tracks the
very latest wxWidgets (and in fact, often gets ahead of the officially
released branch, although the wxPython developer is also a wxWidgets
developer).

This means wxPython 2.6.x is effectively unmaintained upstream. That may or
may not be an issue, but it may end up easier overall to work to get
problems fixed in 2.8.x. (Following the "upstream! upstream!" mantra.)
