You should look at the wxPython demo's code for the wx.ListBox. It
looks like they use the wx.EVT_LISTBOX event. See below:

<code>
# this writes to a multiline TextCtrl
self.log.WriteText('EvtListBox: %s, %s, %s, %s\n' %
                           (event.GetString(),
                            event.IsSelection(),
                            event.GetSelection(),
                            event.GetClientData()))
</code>

I'm not sure, but I think it uses the SetSelection() method to select
an item, which seems to deselect the previously selected item...at
least, that's how I interpret the demo.

The demo is here: http://wxpython.org/download.php
