How can I embed Google maps into a wxPython program?

Question

I would like to create a program using wxPython that uses Google maps to display and select geographic data.

Is there a proven, ready to use widget for this?

Answer 1

There are no pre-made widgets that I'm aware of. I did find PySlip, which is similar to what you're talking about: http://code.google.com/p/pyslip/wiki/Introduction

There is a webkit port that's being worked on for wxPython as well. There's a preview build here that's kind of old:

I know the author has been working on an update to it for quite some time though.
