huh? I don't think you can do that at all.

If you just want the image, use:

dwpic = macroicons.getdwiconBitmap()

Sizer.Add(wx.StaticBitmap(dwpic)

A wx.Bitmap is a platform native version of a bitmap.

A wx.Image is a platform neutral 24bit RGB ini-memory version of an image.

Neither can be displayed directly, you need to put a Bitmap in a control 
of some sort:

wx.StaticBitmap
wx.BitmapButtton

or a custom class of some sort, derived from wx.,Window or wx,panel, in 
which you draw the Bitmap yourself with DCs.
