You don't need ListControlMeta at all; just inherit from wx.Frame and
(new-style) CopyAndPaste directly.

Are you sure you're executing the latest version where CopyAndPaste is
a new-style class?  The equivalent code works for me:

>>> import wx
>>> class CopyAndPaste(object):
...   pass
...
>>> class ListControl(wx.Frame, CopyAndPaste):
...   pass
...
>>> # no error

Could it be that you're using an older version of wx, where wx.Frame
itself is an old-style class?
