your code worked fine on windows8 wxpython 3.0. try code:

import wx class test( wx.frame ):      def __init__( self, parent ):         wx.frame.__init__ ( self, parent, id = wx.id_any, title = "frame aka window", pos = wx.defaultposition, size = wx.size( 300,200 ), style = wx.default_frame_style )          self.panel = wx.panel(self)         self.status = self.createstatusbar( 1, 0, wx.id_any )          self.menu = wx.menubar( 0 )         self.first = wx.menu()         self.new = wx.menuitem( self.first, wx.id_any, "new window", u"this new window", wx.item_normal )         self.first.appenditem( self.new )         self.open = wx.menuitem( self.first, wx.id_any, "open", u"open new window", wx.item_normal )         self.first.appenditem( self.open )         self.menu.append( self.first, "file" )          self.second = wx.menu()         self.menu.append( self.second, "menu" )          self.setmenubar( self.menu )         self.centre( wx.both )    if __name__=='__main__':     app=wx.app()     frame=test(none)     frame.show()     app.mainloop()
