Can I "draw" text or images?

In Win32, mIRC, and probably other lanugages, you can draw text or images on a certain part of the screen. For example, in Win32, you might create a function like this:

void SayHello(HWND hWindow) {
HDC hDC;
RECT rect;

GetClientRect(hWindow, &rect);
hDC = GetDC(hWindow);
DrawText(hDC, TEXT("Hello!"), -1, &rect,
DT_SINGLELINE | DT_CENTER | DT_VCENTER);
ReleaseDC(hWindow, hDC);
}

...which writes "Hello" on the screen, and centers it.

I was told that Python allows you to do this, but I have been unable to find any documentation of it. The reason I ask is because I want to be able to place text in a window at a certain point and have it (for example) print from right to left. Same thing with images...I want to be able to place them at a certain point on the screen. BTW, I'm using wxPython for as my IDE.

Thanks in advance to anyone who can help!

I dont know how you can do that with pyWX but i know its very easy to do in pygame , take a look.

You know, I was actually at that site the other day. I thought it was a Python game, not a game API. Duh!

Looks like they've got some good documentation there. I'm having a hard time finding the same documenation on wxpython.org (ie. that explains each function). Thanks for the tip!
