You're close. You want to bind the EVT_PAINT to the panel, not the 
buffer. The buffer is a wx.Bitmap, which doesn't get any events.

self.panel.Bind(EVT_PAINT, self.onPaint)

However, your first approach was better. You did all the drawing to a 
buffer in a separate method. All you needed to do was draw the buffer to 
the Screen in the onPaint method.

See the Wiki entries I pointed you to in a previous post, and also this one:
