A couple options:

1) take a look at the img2py utility that comes with wxPython. It takes 
an image and stores it in a python module that can then be loaded, and 
the image extracted as either a wx.Image or wx.Bitmap.

2) IN your wx.App OnInit() (or anywhere, really) you do something like:


self.AParticularBitmap - wx.Bitmap(TheFileName)

Now you have a reference to that bitmap that you can use anywhere you 
need one.

My tendency would be to put all of these sorts of things in a 
"Resource'" module or package that you import and use anywhere you need it.
