I tried, of course :-) Removing the line

box.Add(item=upper_box, flag=wx.GROW)

yields the remaining program

import wx

app = wx.PySimpleApp()
frame = wx.Frame(parent=None, title="Test")
box = wx.BoxSizer(wx.VERTICAL)
frame.SetSizer(box)
upper_box = wx.StaticBox(parent=frame, label="Upper Box")
upper_sizer = wx.StaticBoxSizer(upper_box)
upper_sizer.Add(wx.Button(parent=frame, label="Button"))
frame.Show()
app.MainLoop()

... the StaticBox not being displayed.

No prediction needed :-) I can't see how I have suggested you're not
well-meaning.
