In general, the wxpython-users list is a better source of wxPython
answers than c.l.p.

wxPython gui elements are not threadsafe unless otherwise indicated.
Don't make calls against gui objects from other threads. This includes
Refresh().

You can make this call in a threadsafe manner using wx.CallAfter like so:
wx.CallAfter(frame.Refresh, True)
