Uhm, can you see what happens if you call:

print wx.GetTopLevelWindows()

When the last top level window of your app is destroyed? Also, have
you tried giving a parent window to HtmlHelpController to see if the
problem disappears? I have never used HTMLHelpController but the fact
that you have to hit Ctrl+C on Windows means that some TLWs are not
destroyed when the app exits and one way to insure that, IIUC, is to
give a parent to those HtmlHelpController.
