Make sure that you are actually doing the window.SetSizer(sizer) calls. 
  All the sizer setup in the world won't do any good if you don't tell 
the window to use it.  Also make sure that the proportion and wx.EXPAND 
flags are set appropriately for all the items that need to stretch. 
This includes the nested sizers if they contain the stretchable widgets, 
the sizer also needs to be stretchable in it's parent if the widget is 
going to stretch.

If these ideas don't help then make a small runnable sample of your 
layout and send it here.  http://wiki.wxpython.org/MakingSampleApps
