Like a chat room, IRC?
It's easy to do using a client-server architecture.
Make all the clients connect to a central server. Any time someone writes  
some text, the client sends it to the server (but does not display it).  
The server just receives text from any client, and sends the received  
messages to all connected clients (including the one that sent it  
originally).
Any book on socket programming will help; there are a few specific for  
Python.
You may start with the "echo" example in the Python documentation. Make  
the networking part work first, then add the wx GUI if you want.
