Multiple or multi purpose drag and drop DropTargets in wxPython

Question

I've successfully in the past created apps that have a wx.FileDropTarget that accepts files through drag and drop, and custom drag and drop targets from wx.PyDropTarget.

I'm trying to create an app that has a single control (wx.ListCtrl) that accepts files to be dropped from the file system, and also allows a custom drag and drop so the user is able to reorder the list, after dropping files in.

There's examples of different uses of drag and drop here, all the examples work well individually however I've been unsuccessful at trying to get any working together.

As far as I'm aware you can only set one drop target on a control, I've tried using multiple inheritance to make a class that inherits from both wx.PyDropTarget and wx.FileDropTarget but this doesn't seem to work (neither type of drop works).

Does any know if this is possible?

How about dynamically changing the nature of the drop target on a click on the ListCtrl items? If the user clicks on a ListCtrl item, then they are about to commence drag and drop (so you need PyDropTarget, when they let go, then you're back to FileDropTarget.

I haven't tried this, just a suggestion.
