I know google api support xml-rpc calls
This is a pretty cool idea. However, I'm not entirely sure
what you intend.
All I've seen in terms of using the api is a way to create a
google maps window in your web app, that you can control what
map is show, and put push-pins and the like on it. However,
the maps are still delivered by Google, and shown in the browser.
You could use an embedded browser in your wx app do make sue of this.
wxHTML does not have the features required.
Another approach would be to have your app act like the
browser, and get the tiles for the map you need, and display
them yourself. However, this is pretty complex, I don't think
google has published the API for that.
Might be able to use some stuff from Grail
(http://grail.sourceforge.net/) and the no-longer-maintained
python-spidermonkey
(), which I found
by search "javascript python" from google. There's probably more.
