Make sure the path to your png is correct. Also, check out 
wx.ArtProvider for standard icons. I use img2py if I need custom icons 
because it's easier to embed them in my application.

Are you talking about a menu event or a toolbar event? Here's a generic 
way to create code for a toolbar (I created a ):

<code>

def createToolbar(self):
    toolbar = self.CreateToolBar(wx.TB_3DBUTTONS|wx.TB_TEXT)
    self.toolbar.SetToolBitmapSize((16,16))
    print_ico = wx.ArtProvider.GetBitmap(wx.ART_PRINT, wx.ART_TOOLBAR, 
(16,16))
    printTool = self.toolbar.AddSimpleTool(wx.ID_ANY, print_ico, 
'Print', 'Sends Timesheet to Default Printer')
    self.Bind(wx.EVT_MENU, self.OnPrint, sendTool)       
    toolbar.Realize()

</code>

And here's how I do menubar code for the same function as above:

<code>

menubar = wx.MenuBar()
fileMenu = wx.Menu()
printDefault_menu_item = fileMenu.Append(wx.ID_ANY, '&Print\tCtrl+P', 
'Prints to Default Printer')
self.Bind(wx.EVT_MENU, self.onPrintDefault, printDefault_menu_item)
menubar.Append(fileMenu, '&File')
self.SetMenuBar(menubar)

</code>
