Exactly.  The line "app = MyApp(0)" creates a MyApp instance and then
assigns it to "app".  As part of the MyApp creation process, it
creates a MyFrame, which creates a Tab, which creates a Class1, which
attempts to reference "app".  All of this happens before that
"MyApp(0)" call has returned, so the result of that call has not
actually been assigned to "app" yet.

I suggest using wx.GetApp() instead.
