I suspect you are mixing program code for the namespace version (import 
wx) with the old method of importing (from wxPython.wx import *).

Here are two version of a very simple app... try both and see if you get 
any errors. And if so, _please_ post the exact error you get.

--- BEGIN The "new" namespace version ----

import wx

class MainFrame(wx.Frame):
     def __init__(self, parent, id=-1, title="Test Wx", size=(-1, -1), 
pos=(-1,-1), style=wx.DEFAULT_FRAME_STYLE|wx.NO_FULL_REPAINT_ON_RESIZE):
         wx.Frame.__init__(self, parent, id, title, size, pos, style)
         self.Show(True)

app = wx.PySimpleApp()
frame = MainFrame(None, -1, "Test Wx NameSpace Style")
app.MainLoop()

--- END The "new" namespace version ----

--- BEGIN The old style import ----

from wxPython.wx import *

class MainFrame(wxFrame):
     def __init__(self, parent, id=-1, title="Test Wx", size=(-1, -1), 
pos=(-1,-1), style=wxDEFAULT_FRAME_STYLE|wxNO_FULL_REPAINT_ON_RESIZE):
         wxFrame.__init__(self, parent, id, title, size, pos, style)
         self.Show(True)

app = wxPySimpleApp()
frame = MainFrame(None, -1, "Test Wx Old Style")
app.MainLoop()

--- END The old style import ----

Hope that helped!
