Assuming you've installed a version of wxPython that is recent enough 
that "import wx" works (it's really unclear from what you've written 
above), then the problem you are facing is not using the namespace that 
you've now imported.  Do this instead:

class MyApp(wx.App):
     def OnInit(self):
         frame = wx.Frame(NULL, -1, "....


Note that "wx." before everything from wxPython...
