Python is very simple to install. Under Linux, it exists on all distribs, 
and under win32, you only need to execute a .exe installer. Same for 
wxPython.

If you decide to develope the gui with wxPython, you don't need anymore 
wxwindows (I mean, the C++ API).

And you are right. Python is not fast enough to do tasks such optimization, 
so we need another language. It can be C++, or even just C. And there are 
now some very nice solutions. Have a look at:

   http://www.scipy.org/site_content/weave

Even if interfacing C in Python is very simple, this project is usefull for 
quick developping.

But maybe using Numeric Python could be enough. I don't know what you are 
doing in hugin which need speed (the 'fine tune', I presume)... The other 
point is the pano12 lib. There, the solution is swig.

I will try to do something (only for the GUI part; not for the C/C++ 
integration). But I'm now working on 2 other (little) projects, so it may 
take a while.
