I use the following to close my dialogs:

======================================================================
class About(wxDialog):
    def __init__(self, *args, **kwds):
        # begin wxGlade: About.__init__
(...)
        self.button_4 = wxButton(self.panel_5, -1, "Fechar")
(...)
        # end wxGlade

(...)
        EVT_BUTTON(self, -1, self.OnExit)


(...)

   def OnExit(self, event):
        self.Close(True)
======================================================================

I.e., I let the only button on the dialog with the standard ID of '-1'
and associate it to a function 'OnExit' in the same class. 


See you,
