I'm a wxPython beginner too, but instead of Anthony Irwin's
suggestions, I think you should delete these two lines:

ID_ABOUT=101
ID_EXIT=110

and use:

wx.ID_ABOUT
wx.ID_EXIT

throughout the body of your program. As far as I can tell, there is
no reason for you to be manually setting your own id's (is there
ever?). Instead, you can use the ids in the wx module.

In addition, I suggest you never use wx.PySimpleApp(). If you create
your own app class, you can send the error messages to the console.
Instead of always seeing a window that flashes at you briefly and
being left with no clue what went wrong, you can at least see an error
message and a line number in the console. Here's how you would do
that:

-----------------
import wx

class MyFrame(wx.Frame):
def __init__(self, mytitle):
wx.Frame.__init__(self, None, title= mytitle)

class MyApp(wx.App):
def __init__(self):
wx.App.__init__(self, redirect=False)

app = MyApp()

window = MyFrame("Testing")
window.Show()

app.MainLoop()

------------------

By setting redirect=False in wx.App.__init__(), the errors will be
sent to the console.
