Re: displaying dxf drawings in a GUI

I recently added a SVG renderer to wxPython 4.1 so if there is a good way 
to convert dxf files to svg files that would be one way you could go. OTOH, 
if you're able to decompose the dxf files into paths, curves and simple 
shapes then you could take a similar approach for rendering it to a 
wx.GraphicsContext. See 
https://github.com/wxWidgets/Phoenix/blob/master/wx/svg/__init__.py#L147
