[Tutor] WxPython, Grid, MDI, and Toolbars

[Brett Magill]

Hello,

I am new to programming, learning through python, and starting to be 
productive.  But I want to develop graphical application so I am trying to 
learn wxPython, which I find much more difficult, and with little 
documentation, especially since I don't know C++ and can't translate the 
extensive WxWindows docs to python.

In any case.  My specific problem...  See the code below.  Creates an MDI 
with a parent and a child.  The parent holds a filemenu, and statusbar, and 
a toolbar.  Unfortunately, the child window doesn't play nicely with the 
toolbar.  What am I doing wrong?  Help is appreciated!
