Your Bind call is executing the function, not passing its address.  Try 
something like (untested):
     self.Bind(wx.Evt_MENU, self.OnViewUser)

     def OnViewUser(self, event): # note only 1 param, an event object
         item = event.GetEventObject()
         text = self.m2f[item.GetId()]
         print text
