Two things about how wxPython works:

- Many classes are *explicity* defined int the .i files (this could be
  the reason for the tight coupling between version). Example: the whole
  graphic context; whenever wxWindows changes, wxPython has to adjust
  it. Nothing serious actually, it just has to be done. It also serve
  the documentation purpose since you have the python interface

- wx *does* indeed check its argument (the 'visual noise' problem); 
  in fact the asserts in the debug build are very useful
