I don't know what part of the demo you are looking at, but the
one I have has some real simple code under "Using Images->Image"
that looks like this (irrelevant parts removed for simplicity):

import  wx

def runTest(frame, nb, log):
     bmp = wx.Image('bitmaps/image.bmp',
         wx.BITMAP_TYPE_BMP).ConvertToBitmap()

     panel = wx.Panel(nb, -1)

     pos = 10
     wx.StaticBitmap(panel, -1, bmp, (10, pos),
         (bmp.GetWidth(), bmp.GetHeight()))


Can't get much simpler than that...   are you remembering to
look under the "Demo Code" tab of the demo, where the source
code is shown?  It almost sounds like you are digging through
the source files manually, rather than using the demo the way
it was intended.
