It's in the "Background Info" (you can only have one, it can't be 
positioned, doesn't have all the usual characteristics, etc. so it 
doesn't need to be a full-blown component).

In layoutEditor go into menu "Edit / Background info ....", and check 
the box "Status bar on window". You can then refer to it in your code 
simply as  
   self.statusBar.text = "My new status"
or
   text = self.statusBar.text

This gives you a simple, single-field status bar; if you want more than 
that, you should be able to use the wxPython calls directly.
