As stated in this error message, you are referring to
a wx.Frame *class*, not an instance, and apparently not
what you thought you were doing.  Note the difference
in the error messages produced below:

 >>> class A:
...   pass
...
 >>> a = A()
 >>>
 >>> a.test
Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
AttributeError: A instance has no attribute 'test'
 >>> A.test
Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
AttributeError: class A has no attribute 'test'
