Did you see my previous reply (I see it in the archives but not in  
your replies)? Here it is again.

The wx.App object has some builtin method for handling some common
apple events. I would have to check the wxWidgets source to remember
exactly which event it responds to but you might want to try and
override the following method in your App object class.

def MacOpenFile(self, filename)

IIRC it will be called with the path of the file that is sent to the
app for getURL events. If not you need a c extension to add an
additional apple event handler to your wxApp object. This is actually
quite easy to do (see examples in wxPython wiki), but I think that the  
above should do what your
looking for.
