wx.FileDialog is only a wrapper for the api FileDialog (at least this 
applies for windows) and therefore it is not possible to derive from it.

Really exclude, I think, is not possible.

You can put a mask 
wx.FileDialog(...wildcard = "BMP files (*.bmp)|*.bmp|GIF files
(*.gif)|*.gif")

Otherwise you have to create your own FileDialog.
