Where was that example?

That is a better example -- maybe you could put in the Wiki.

note, however:
          button1 = wx.Button(panel, -1, "Button1", pos=(130,15), 
size=(100,40) )
          button2 = wx.Button(panel, -1, "Button2", pos=(130,50), 
size=(100,40) )

          self.Bind(wx.EVT_BUTTON, self.OnButton1Click, button1)
          self.Bind(wx.EVT_BUTTON, self.OnButton2Click, button2)

I'd be far more likely to write this as:

button1.Bind(wx.EVT_BUTTON, self.OnButton1Click)
button2.Bind(wx.EVT_BUTTON, self.OnButton2Click)

See the wxPython style guide in the Wiki.

I like this better for two reasons:

1) I think it's more obvious what's intended
2) is works with both command and regular events.

The only place you cant do this is with menu items, because they aren't 
"true" wx.Windows -- too bad.
