I haven't tried it so I am not sure it will work, but what about something like:

yourNotebook.Bind(wx.EVT_LEFT_DOWN, self.OnLeftDown)

def OnLeftDown(self, event):

    # Do something to the other notebook
    event.Skip()

When the 2 notebook events (wx.EVT_NOTEBOOK_PAGE_CHANGED or
wx.EVT_NOTEBOOK_PAGE_CHANGING) are not triggered, probably the
wx.EVT_LEFT_DOWN is sent.
