The Bind function does not execute the handler method 
it simply registers it within wxPython for future use when 
the button event is triggered. The return value from Bind 
is not the return value of the method being bound.

The method only gets called when the button is pressed, 
thats why you have to put the write() call in the event 
handler itself.

HTH,
