Sorry for the late reply - I've been hoping my old machine still had 0.7 
on it, and finally got a chance to revive it - and found only a very 
incomplete portion of 0.7 still there.

I don't think the new calendarctrl (in wxPython, not in Pythoncard) has 
any way to directly set the year (you can use the < and > arrows to 
change one month at a time, and that will wrap over year boundaries).

You could probably use the old calendar (as import wx.lib.calendar) - 
but you'd need to use wx Events directly not get it through PythonCard.  
Possible, but not recommended.

I'd suggest simply adding a a couple of widgets - the code to link them 
is simple ....

(note the +1 to account for the selections being 0-11 while the months 
are 1-12).

And the year should be very similar ...
