Including context will make your replies easier to understand.

As for Boa not knowing how to handle the result I sent you, that is
unfortunate.  Have you tried moving the definition of 'TreeCtrl' into a
different module that is imported by your Frame1.py?  That may or may
not help, but I'm surprised that Boa can't handle such minimal
customization of classes or changing of source.

Alternatively, you could try one of the other GUI designers out there;
XRCed, wxGlade, or even Dabo Designer.  The nice thing about XRCed is
that you are just working with XML and you can refer to custom clases by
name.  If you decide to dig into Dabo, they have made some useful
abstractions over base wxPython, which you may find removes your desire
or need to use a GUI designer in the first place.
