Maya wxWindow

This a a template to create interactive wxWindows in Maya. The same UI can be ported to most applications using a python interpreter by only changing the makeCube method. However, not all software and/or versions fully support wxWidgets. The key difference you'll want to remember between a standard window and one from Maya is to omit initializing wx.app.MainLoop().
