See the Python tutorial on module/package namespaces:
http://docs.python.org/tut/node8.html

You also may want to take a look at:
http://wiki.wxpython.org/index.cgi/AsynchronousSockets

from a the GUI thread and from an optional secondary thread.  Which
reminds me that someone should update the wiki to use more up-to-date
patterns.
