I've used a method for running twisted and wxPython in separate threads
that was developed by someone at Solipsis (http://netofpeers.com).
I've put the example that was on their web site (since removed) on mine:
http://pangalactic.us/txwx/separate_thread_example.html

You can see a less trivial application of it here:
https://pangalactic.us/repo/ampchat

... in which I used that method in creating a wxpython-based client
to David Ripton's "ampchat" (wxchatclient.py).  This method has
worked for me, whereas I've observed the same (freezing) behavior
with wxreactor.
