Your question refers to frames, but I think you may mean dialogs (subclasses 
of wx.Dialog).  So wx.Dialog.ShowModal( ) may be what you're looking for. 
See 
http://www.lpthe.jussieu.fr/~zeitlin/wxWindows/docs/wxwin_wxdialog.html#wxdialogshowmodal.

Here is an example with a file dialog from a project I am working on:
        dlg = wx.FileDialog(
            self,
            message="Save file as ...",
            defaultDir=os.path.join(os.environ['zigzag_install_dir'], 
'config'),
            wildcard="Python source (*.py)|*.py",
            style=wx.SAVE
            )
        if dlg.ShowModal() == wx.ID_OK:
            path = dlg.GetPath()
            # Open the file and write into it
            saveFile = file(path, "w")
            # [...] removed code that writes into the file
            saveFile.close()
        dlg.Destroy()

Peter is right though, you may be better off asking questions on wxPython in 
the wxPython mailing list (http://www.wxpython.org/maillist.php).
