As Mike said it might be better for you (and others bumping into this 
problem),
if you would post your question in the wxPython list.

Anyway here is mine solution, dragging from a tree on the left,
either on the tree itself or on a visual disign canvas right of the 
splitter:
  def OnEndDrag2(self, event):
    item = event.GetItem()
    if item:
      # this is not a very elegant way, but it works
      # we compare the event-position with the splitter sash-position
      # to determine if it's a tree-drop or a graphical-canvas-drop
      w = self.parent_form.Splitter.GetSashPosition()
      x, y = event.GetPoint()
      if x > w:
        self.Insert_Lib_Object ( self.drag_item, x-w, y+26 )
      else :
