Hi Thomas,
Below you will find an old, quick and dirty application I wrote once in order
to learn this stuff. It was created with infos coming from this mailing list.
Developed under wxPython 2.5.x, it just work out of the box with wxPy 2.8.0.1
and may need some cleanings.
With the hope, it helps.

#~ In your calling code, create a dictionary
#~ context = {}
#~ Pass it into your dialog class:
#~ def __init__( self, context ):
#~ ...
#~ self.context = context
#~ Use any values in 'context' to populate your widgets.
#~ Override the TransferDataFromWindow method to copy
#~ values back from the widgets to 'context'.
#~ When ShowModal returns (in your calling code),
#~ call dlog.TransferDataFromWindow(), and voila! the
#~ values are in the dictionary.
#~ HTH.
