And my motto is "When in doubt, learn the right way
to do it!" ;)

Because it will just be a stupid digit that doesn't
mean anything to whoever reads the code. Magic numbers
in the code is a no-no in my book. Who can be certain
that these constants will remain the same in the next
version of wxPython? (If I was wxWindows maintainer I
might just shuffle them around on purpose between
versions just to break such badly written code! ;)

Better to use wxID_YES, wxID_NO, wxID_OK or wxID_CANCEL.
