Basically, your approach can be completely different under wxPython - 
you can use a single image, and then query the mouse click events to 
determine which location (and therefore which portion of the image) was 
clicked.

You *could* use separate images as well, in which case you would need to 
provide callback functions to be called for clicks on the various 
sub-portions.

Take a look at the docs for wxEvent, and see if that leads you to 
something you can understand.
