Yeah, but that's not the half of it :-( I received this very helpful reply
on the wxPython-users list. The main problem is that bitmaps don't have a
scale method. See below for more details.

Thanks for your input, Mel.

Steve,

note that you're converting the image to a bitmap (via ConvertToBitmap).
Bitmaps don't have a scale method. wxImage has a scale method, 
but it has an uppercase letter at the beginning.

You could use something like this:

img = wxImage(jpgName,wxBITMAP_TYPE_JPEG)
imgSmall = img.Scale(100, 100)
wxStaticBitmap(self, -1,wxBitmapFromImage(imgSmall))
