This is a great reason to use one of Python's fabulous features: keyword 
arguments and *args, **kwargs:

class TestFrame(wx.Frame):
   def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
     wx.Frame.__init__(self, *args, **kwargs)

class App(wx.App):
   def OnInit(self):

     x = wx.SystemSettings_GetMetric(wx.SYS_SCREEN_X)
     y = wx.SystemSettings_GetMetric(wx.SYS_SCREEN_Y)

     frame = TestFrame(None, title="Test Frame", size=(.9*x,.9*y))
     frame.Center(wx.BOTH)
     frame.Show(True)
     self.SetTopWindow(frame)
     return True

if __name__ == '__main__':
   app = App(0)
   app.MainLoop()
