Better late than never. I see the same problem with PythonCard from CVS, 
wxPython 2.5.3.1 and Python 2.3 on my iBook. I think the problem lies in 
the order that the widgets are created.

Your sample wx appliation works as expected. The on_btn method is 
executed if you click on the Button widget.

But if I swap the lines that create 'lb' and 'btn' in your example then 
the on_box method is executed when the mouse clicks anywhere inside the 
StaticBox and the on_btn method isn't.

So by observation I conclude that the static box in Brad's application 
is being created after the widgets within it. Does anyone fancy delving 
into model.py to see if this could be the cause of the problem?

Although I'm a little perturbed as to why this should be differ between 
the Mac and other platforms.

Regards,
Andy
