wxPython having trouble with frame objects

[Soumen banerjee]

Hello,
you say that  frame_1 is an attribute of the main class. The main
class here is guithread right? so any instance of guithread should
also have an attribute called frame_1 isnt it? Excuse me if im getting
this wrong, since i am somewhat new to python.
Regards
Soumen
