Certainly not the only way,
possibly not the best way,
but you can do something very like this .....

I made modifications to caldialog.py  I think to the same version as is 
on the web site) -  here's notes and the relevant section that I changed

1. add the import of datetime
2. added year, month and day parameters to the __init__
3. set the date as soon as the custom dialog is created  (i.e. before it 
is displayed)

and then you'll need to make changes to the calling code to extract the 
date from the text box and pass it in ...

import wx
import datetime

class CalDialog(model.CustomDialog):
    def __init__(self, parent, txt='', y=2006, m=1, d=1):
        model.CustomDialog.__init__(self, parent)
        self.components.Calendar1.PySetDate(datetime.date(y,m,d))


    def on_Calendar1_mouseDoubleClick(self, event):
        self.EndModal(wx.ID_OK)
       
    def on_btnOK_mouseClick(self, event):
        print "in ok click"
        event.Skip()
       
def calDialog(parent, y=2006, m=1, d=2):
    dlg = CalDialog(parent, y=y, m=m, d=d)
    result = dlg.showModal()
