Have a look at the following program -

----------------------------------------------------------------------

class MyFrame(wx.Frame):
    def __init__(self, parent, id, title):
        wx.Frame.__init__(self, parent, id, title)
        MyPanel(self)

class MyPanel(wx.Panel):
    def __init__(self,frame):
        wx.Panel.__init__(self,frame,-1)
        self.frame = frame
        b = wx.Button(self,-1,'Close')
        b.Bind(wx.EVT_BUTTON,self.onClose,id=b.GetId())

    def onClose(self,evt):
        self.frame.Close()
        evt.Skip()

class MyApp(wx.App):
    def OnInit(self):
        frame = MyFrame(None, -1, "Test")
        frame.Show(True)
        self.SetTopWindow(frame)
        return True

app = MyApp(0)     # Create an instance of the application class
app.MainLoop()     # Tell it to start processing events

----------------------------------------------------------------------

The essential point is that you save a reference to the frame when you
create the panel. Then when the button is clicked you can use the
reference to call the frame's Close method.
