Did you look on the menubar? wxPython uses native components (Cocoa in the
case of OS X) so the menu should appear in the menu bar and not in the
application window. wx will automatically move some of the items in the menu
to the appropriate location (About, Preferences, and Quit are all in the
Application menu for instance and not the file menu)

The wxPython Wiki has a page about Mac-specific issues :
http://wiki.wxpython.org/Optimizing%20for%20Mac%20OS%20X

Also, you'll get better answer for questions like this (which are
wx-specific and not Python-specific) on the wxPython list:
