In particular, you won't get far if you don't understand Object oriented 
programming on Python. Start with any number of books or online 
tutorials about python -- I found the "Learning Python" book, and "Dive 
into Python" (both in print and on line) very helpful when I was getting 
started -- there are many others.

Once you've done that, re-do your little example in an OO style -- 
create your own Frame class, subclassed from wx.Frame, etc.

The wxPyWiki has a lot of examples, and a style guide that's a good way 
to get you started on the right foot:
