I was going to suggest the same thing...

But I agree. I mostly use the lambda trick when I am auto-generating a 
bunch of controls -- I may have ten similar buttons, and I want each one 
to be bound to the same callback, but indicate which button was pressed, 
for instance.

In this case, I'd keep it simpler.

Or save the path as a class attribute:

self.logFilePath = HoweverThatIsSet

self.createConditionActionSetButton = wx.Button(self.panel_left,

label="Create Condition - Action Set", pos=(0, 20), size=(200,20))

self.Bind(wx.EVT_BUTTON,
           self.OnCreateConditionActionSet,
           self.createConditionActionSetButton)
		

And here the function:
def OnCreateConditionActionSet(self, evt, path):
		logfile = open(self.logFilePath, 'r+')
		print 'create c a set'

If that logfile is accessed from a lot of different places in your code, 
store the path in a config module of some sort.

Oh, you can clean up that Bind() call a bit too:

self.createConditionActionSetButton.Bind(wx.EVT_BUTTON,self.OnCreateConditionActionSet)
