It's not feasable at all. Thing is, wxPython is a python bindings to
wxwidgets, which is a c++ gui framework. The browser will not know how to
handle them, this is on purpose. The browser itself does all the actual
rendering of widgets from within its html engine, the browser should not know
about wxwidgets, even if it itself is written in wx, this way.

Don't let how the code is written fool you. wxpython is not going to work the
way you think it is. Browsers for security reasons do not execute random code
and you can not send the widgets over the network that way, You'll need to
rewrite the gui code.
