What are the advantages/disadvantages of wxPython's AGW AUI?

Solution

In addition to what cfedermann mentioned, the AGW implementation is updated frequently. The author accepts patches and new feature requests. It's just more active period. Plus because it's pure Python, the developers that use it can hack it a lot easier to suit their own specific needs then they could with the C++ version.

Problem

We are currently using the wx.aui module in our program. I've been told that we could use the module wx.lib.agw.aui which is a pure python version. What are the advantages and disadvantages of using the agw.aui module instead of the standard aui provided by wxPython?
