I'm not saying it can'ty be done (which is a pity for you, because 
that's usually a cue for someone to contradict me) but it's expecting 
quite a lot of win32gui. A wxPython application is not a windows handle, 
and I suspect you will find that the classname you seek isn't visible 
from inside (wx)Python.
