Yes it's a bug.  I expect that pywxrc should probably not generate a 
subclass for menubars like this at all, because there is no need for it 
as there is for container windows.  Instead it should probably just 
generate a function something like this:


def xrcMAINMENU():
	return get_resources().LoadMenuBar("MAINMENU")


and similar for wx.Menus too.  A patch implementing this change would be 
gladly accepted.
