If the only things on your modal dialog are Browse and cancel, just call the 
wx.FileDialog directly and eliminate the intermediate modal dialog.  If not 
don't bind the FileDialog to a button, just create an instance of it as the last 
  you do in the __init__ method of the modal dialog code.

If this doesn't help, you will have better luck posting to wxpython newsgroup.
