Franz:
I found out:
first lines:
import wx
lc = wx.Locale(wx.LANGUAGE_DEFAULT)

But that makes no sense for me.
Why should a wxApp Object created first?

Robin can explain this better than me.
It's by design. In fact, creating an wx.App means much more than creating
a simple wx.App instance. During this "bootstrap", a lot of wx stuff
is initialized.

A good place, where to put all the wx-related initializations is the
OnInit method of a wx.App instance. Try something like this:

class MainApp(wx.App):
     def OnInit(self):

  lc = wx.Locale(wx.LANGUAGE_DEFAULT)

         frame = ...
         frame.Show(True)
         self.SetTopWindow(frame)
         return True

Thank you Jean-Michel,

I put it already to the OnInit and that works now.
