You have a couple of choices:

1) Transform your frame in a wx.Dialog and call ShowModal() on the dialog;
2) Call frame.MakeModal(True) to disable the rest of your app and then
frame.MakeModal(False) when you have finished with your frame to
re-enable your app.

You can see the recent thread here too:
