To make that clear with your example:

2. "Right" way:
msg = u"Could be a fatal string"
wx.MessageBox( msg, "", wx.OK )

so pass only unicode objects to wxPython.

Where did your "could be a fatal string" come from? when you get that is 
when you should handle the decoding, as Chris (the other one) said.

You're really better off just making your app a unicode app, and not 
supporting the ANSI build at all.
