Your statement above means that self--that is, the instance of
your main class--has an attribute called frame_1, and that name
refers to an instance of the MyFrame class from the gui module.

It does not mean that the guithread object has an attribute named
frame_1.  In order to do that, you should have written:

guithread.frame_1 = something

I would post wxPython related questions on the wxPython mailing
list, which is excellent.
