That would explain why StaticBox doesn't work on the Mac (it blocks
mouse events to overlapping/contained widgets), except it doesn't
explain why a StaticBox works fine in a plain wx app (see below):

class TestPanel(wx.Panel):
   def __init__(self, parent, log):
       wx.Panel.__init__(self, parent, -1)
       self.log = log
       self.count = 0

       self.lb = wx.StaticBox(self, -1, "This example uses the 
wx.StaticBox.", (45, 100), (200,400))
       self.btn = wx.Button(self, -1, "Test", (50,120))
       wx.EVT_LEFT_DOWN(self.lb, self.on_box)
       wx.EVT_LEFT_DOWN(self.btn, self.on_btn)


   def on_box(self, event):
       print "box"
   def on_btn(self, event):
       print "btn"

if __name__ == '__main__':
   import sys
   app = wx.PySimpleApp()
   frame = wx.Frame(None, -1, "title")
   TestPanel(frame, sys.stdout)
   frame.Show(True)
   app.MainLoop()
