Checking the wxPython demo, trying to select a computer from the 
"Network Neighborhood" or "My Network Places/Computers Near Me" using 
the wxDirDialog produces the following error:

Debug: e:\Projects\wx2.4\src\msw\dirdlg.cpp(161): 'SHGetPathFromIDList' 
failed with error 0x00000000 (the operation completed successfully.).

It doesn't look like you can overtly select computers from a standard 
dialog.

However, you can:

import os
a = os.popen('net view')
data = a.read()
a.close()
computers = [line.split('\\')[2] for line in data.split('\n')]

And get a list of computer names.
