GUI programming is not easy when you have never done it, but I can
advise you how to learn it.  First, use Tkinter instead of Wxpython, and
second go to 
http://www.ferg.org/thinking_in_tkinter/index.html and download the file
thinking_in_tkinter.zip.  Unzip this file and run the thinking.py
program.  It will give you a series of lessons.  After those lessons you
will be able to understand the Tkinter documentation that you can find
on the web; there is quite a bit.  The URL above leads to several good
tutorials or references.

The reason the go with Tkinter instead of Wxpython is mainly that there
is more and better documentation available, which you need.  But also
Tkinter is easier to use.  If you are already an expert, then Wxpython
has more capabilities.
