try this instead:

import wx


class InputForm(wx.Frame):

    def __init__(self, parent=None, id=wx.ID_ANY, title=''):
        wx.Frame.__init__(self, parent, id, title)
        panel = wx.Panel(self)

        btnModal = wx.Button(panel, -1, 'Modal')
        self.Bind(wx.EVT_BUTTON, self.OnShowDialog, btnModal)

    def OnShowDialog(self, evt):
        dialog = wx.Dialog(self, -1, 'Modal Dialog')
        dialog.ShowModal()
        dialog.Destroy()


class MyApp(wx.App):

    def OnInit(self):
        frame = InputForm(title='Data Entry Form')
        self.SetTopWindow(frame)
        frame.Show()
        return True


app = MyApp(redirect=False)
app.MainLoop()

Yep.  Look in the demo under "Common Dialogs"
