When you use wxPython, as with Tkinter, the application has to be initialized first in order to set all kinds of screen parameters.

So the code you are trying to compile is only partially there. Did you write it yourself, or is it someone else's?

You should start your wxPython program with something like that:

app = wx.App(0)
MyFrame(None, -1, 'frame title')
app.MainLoop()

or that:

class MyApp(wx.App):
    def OnInit(self):
        frame = MyFrame(None, -1, 'frame title')
        frame.Show(True)
        self.SetTopWindow(frame)
        return True

app = MyApp(0)
app.MainLoop()
