In general, you can't do much with wxPython or PythonCard until the
MainLoop() has been started, so you would want to do your
initialization in the on_initialize event handler instead.
However, if you do want to access the main background, you would need
to do it like so:
app.backgrounds[0].foo(emailaddr, passwd, clientVer)
Obviously you would need to initialize emailaddr, passwd, and clientVer
before calling foo.
Since PythonCard doesn't really take advantage of using multiple
backgrounds, the current list structure is overkill, so backgrounds[0]
type of references will probably be changed to just background in the
next release or two.

Wizards and toolbars would be nice. I won't be doing much coding this
month though, so it will be a while before I take a look at your wizard
code. Andy Todd started an implementation for a simple Toolbar class
once, but I'm not sure how far he took it. It should be possible to do
an implementation similar to the PythonCard StatusBar class so that
there is a default one you can get easily and if you need a complex
ToolBar you could roll your own class and do whatever you want in pure
wxPython.
