You just can not insult it, otherwise it will not do it's job ;-) .

I removed the '.' from numList and
I changed:
        if not wx.Validator_IsSilent():
to:
        if not self.Validate(self):

Then you need to put some code into Validate to allow the first '.' but 
no more and put up some error message.

I don't know why wx.Validator_IsSilent() does not do the trick, maybe 
Robin can explain this.
