left/right mouse button events not trapped

[Claudio Grondi]

I don't know much about wxPython, but
  the left/right mouse button events _ARE_ trapped, but
  not when clicking on the image, probably because they
  are registered to the panel not to the image.
Just resize the window and click next to the image.

Hope this helps for now, before you get a response
from someone who knows some more about wxPython
(e.g. why the events from the bitmap are not forwarded
to the panel containing it?).

P.S. Here the corrected code I was able to run on my machine:

import  string
import  wx
# import  images
import  os
import  cStringIO
import xml.sax

from wxPython.wx import *
# from Main import opj

class DisplayPicture(wx.Frame):
  cD = 0
  def __init__(self, parent, id, title, bmp, w, h):
    wxFrame.__init__(self, parent, wxID_ANY, title, size = ( w, h),
style=wxDEFAULT_FRAME_STYLE )
    mD = 0

    self.Panel=wx.Panel(self)
    wx.StaticBitmap(self.Panel, -1, bmp, (5, 5) )

    """ FOR SOME REASON THE MOUSE CLICKS DON-T WORK!"""
    """ SHIT SHIT SHIT SHIT ... x 1000 """
    wx.EVT_LEFT_DOWN(self.Panel,   self.OnLeftClick)
    wx.EVT_LEFT_UP(self.Panel,     self.OnLeftClick)
    wx.EVT_LEFT_DCLICK(self.Panel, self.OnLeftClick)

    self.CreateStatusBar()
    self.Show()

    self.SetStatusText('Submap Coordinates:')

  def OnLeftClick(self, event):
    print "ok the mouse click works!"

class MyApp(wx.App):
  cD = 0
  def OnInit(self):
    wx.InitAllImageHandlers()
    return 1

#
# Main
#

if __name__ == "__main__":
  app = MyApp(0)


  data = open('e:\winnt\Granit.bmp', "rb").read()
  stream = cStringIO.StringIO(data)
  bmp = wx.BitmapFromImage( wx.ImageFromStream( stream ))
  bmpW = bmp.GetWidth()
  bmpH = bmp.GetHeight()
  DisplayPicturePanel=DisplayPicture(None, -1, "Test MB", bmp, bmpW, bmpH)
  #MainFrame = DisplayPicture(None,-1,"Test Mouse Clicks")


  app.MainLoop()
