you are probably trying to run the wxpython program from inside 
"PythonWin". you'll quickly find IDLE and PythonWin don't work very well 
when running programs that do their own GUI work.

there's other editors that do a proper job of this. i hear good things 
about the "IDLE Fork", and personally have done ok with scite.
