In that case, override __init__ something like this:

class Application(wx.App):
    def __init__(self, *pargs, clargs=None, **kwargs):
        self.clargs = clargs or []   # store reference to args

        # call parent class initializer
        wx.App.__init__(self, *pargs, **kwargs)

   def OnInit(self):
       # use self.clargs here


app = Application(redirect=0, clargs=[dbfn])

or whatever... I just guessed at what you meant to do with dbfn though,
but I think the basic idea is clear enough.
