fair enough -- have you read these pages:

Not at all for me -- and it sure shouldn't -- you haven't really done 
anything special -- you're just assigning a bitmap to a bitmap button, 
the fact that you drew it in the __init__, rather than, say, loading it 
from a file, should make no difference.

What platform, version, etc are you using?

By the way if this is representative of what you want -- a bitmap button 
where the bitmap is drawn by your code, this is a fine way to do it. You 
will probably want the generic button is want to customize the behavior 
of the button.

What platform, versions, etc are you running? As I said, this works just 
fine on my OS-X python2.5, wxPython2.8.* system.
