You can use wxPython to display chm files in a native help window.

I simply created a Help menu option and bound this function to it.
My chm file and all related pages were zipped up, which is why I need the ZipFS Handler, but you can do without.

def OnHelp(self, event=None):
    import wx.html
    wx.FileSystem_AddHandler(wx.ZipFSHandler())

    self.help = wx.html.HtmlHelpController( style = wx.html.HF_TOOLBAR |\
        wx.html.HF_CONTENTS | wx.html.HF_SEARCH | wx.html.HF_PRINT)
    self.help.AddBook(os.path.join(Global.progfiles_path, 'STHelp.zip')):
    self.help.Display('Index.htm')
