You could experiment with the "Rich Text" style of the text control
(see the wxPython Demo). You might also mess with refactoring your
code a little and doing a FOR loop.

# untested code!!!
fonts = [tmpnewfont, tmpnewfont2, tmpnewfont3]
count = 0
tmppos = self.txtInfo.GetInsertionPoint()
self.txtInfo.write(str(csr[count])+'\n')
for i in range(3):
    tmppos2 = self.txtInfo.GetInsertionPoint()
    self.txtInfo.SetStyle(tmppos, tmppos2, wx.TextAttr("BLUE",
wx.NullColour, fonts[count]))
    tmppos = tmppos2
    count += 1
    self.txtInfo.write(str(csr[count])+'\n')


I also noticed a FancyText widget. I've used the HtmlWindow widget for
an About screen before and I thought it was pretty cool if you know
HTML. You might also try dropping an email to the wxPython Users Group
at http://wxpython.org/maillist.php

Hope this helps!
