To nit pick, http://twistedmatrix.com/buildbot-supported/ shows what
Twisted has support for.  What Twisted has for wx is "code".  If you're
lucky, it might even behave in a useful manner for your particular
application. ;)

For anyone interested in something that might be called "support", please
get involved in Twisted development and contribute effort to finishing
wxreactor.
