Don't understand wxPython ids

Well, no I meant importing something like this each time (it doesn't 
actually work, BTW):


import wx

#Subclass wx.PyEventBinder to catch all EVT_* args
class MyPyEventBinder(wx.PyEventBinder):
     def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
         # Look for EVT_* args, bind them and del them
         for kw in kwargs:
             if kw.startswith('EVT_'):
                 self.Bind(getattr(wx, kw), kwargs[kw])
                 del kwargs[kw]
         wx.PyEventBinder.__init__(self, *args, **kwargs)

#A little behind-the-scenes switcheroo
wx.PyEventBinder = MyPyEventBinder

if __name__ == '__main__':

     class MyFrame(wx.Frame):
         def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
             wx.Frame.__init__(self, *args, **kwargs)
             self.button = wx.Button(self, -1, "What's my id?", 
EVT_BUTTON=self.OnButtonPress)

         def OnButtonPress(self, event):
             self.button.SetLabel("My id is: %d" % self.button.GetId())

     app = wx.App()
     frame = MyFrame(None, -1, "Events and ids")
     frame.Show(True)
     app.MainLoop()



If I can't figure this out, I'll try subclassing individule widgets and 
throwing it in a module.
