How about using the keyword args to pass it:

class MyFrame1(wx.Frame):
    def __init__(self, *args, **kwds):
         .....
         .....
    def OnEdit(self, event):
         sim_name = 'some_string'
         win = MyFrame2(self, -1, "", sim_name=sim_name)
         win.Show(True)
********************************************************************

class MyFrame2(wx.Frame):
    def __init__(self, *args, **kwds):
         .....
         .....
        self.sim_name=kwds.get('sim_name', 'default sim_name')

    def onLaunch(self, event):
         ## This function needs to use the parameter sim_name which is
         ## self.sim_name can be used here
