I have done it, but it wasn't easy.  I first thought of modifying 
%rename to be able to take a regex or something and doing global renames 
that way, but I never found a way to implement that without major 
surgery on SWIG.

So instead I run SWIG twice on each .i file.  The first time it is to 
generate the XML of the parse tree.  Then I run some Python code on the 
XML and generate a file full of %rename directives, one for each top 
level name that needs to have the wx removed.  Finally, I run SWIG 
again, this time including the file with the %rename's.  It's mostly all 
in wxPython's setup.py and config.py if you're interested in looking closer.
