I don't see this, assuming you talk about brewsterframe.py.  Only 
problem I see is that you made two manual changes which are not 
compatible with the frame designer.

- you commented a line "self.SetMenuBar" and you added it to _init_utils.

- I removed the commented line and moved it to after:
         self._init_ctrls(parent)
         self.SetMenuBar(self.menubar)  # added for Mac compatibility

- changed the wxversion.select:
         wxversion.ensureMinimal('2.6-unicode')

I used the v1_0b10src for this.

After above changes I can open it in the designer and I can also run the 
application.

wxPython 2.8.4, Python 2.5 on Windows Vista.
