Try something like this:

import wx

class MyDialog(wx.Dialog):
    def __init__(self, parent, id, title = "Test"):
        wx.Dialog.__init__(self, parent, id, title)
        sizer = wx.BoxSizer(wx.VERTICAL)

        self.text = {}
        for t in ['1', '2', '3']:
            self.text[t] = wx.TextCtrl(self, -1, "")
            sizer.Add(self.text[t], 1, wx.ALIGN_CENTRE|wx.ALL, 5)

        btn = wx.Button(self, wx.ID_OK, " OK ")

        sizer.Add(btn, 0, wx.ALIGN_CENTRE|wx.ALL, 5)

        btn = wx.Button(self, wx.ID_CANCEL, " Cancel ")
        sizer.Add(btn, 0, wx.ALIGN_CENTRE|wx.ALL, 5)

        self.SetSizer(sizer)
        self.SetAutoLayout(True)
        sizer.Fit(self)

        
    def GetValue(self):
        retval = {}
        for t in self.text:
            retval[t] = self.text[t].GetValue()
        return retval


app = wx.PySimpleApp()
dlg = MyDialog(None, -1)
retval = dlg.ShowModal()
if retval == wx.ID_OK:
    print dlg.GetValue()
dlg.Destroy()
app.MainLoop()
