I figured it out...
You can't use wx.Bitmap() to create a bitmap from XPM data. You
use wx.BitmapFromXPMData() which allows you to "Construct a
Bitmap from a list of strings formatted as XPM data."
It still took a bit of trian-and-error to figure out what
"formatted as XPM data" meant: You can't just pass it a list of
the strings from an .xpm file -- you've got to strip out the
"C" stuff. Maybe that's obvious to everybody else, but it took
me a few guesses...

According to the page at wxBitmap,
one can create a wx.Bitmap from "XPM data". However, I can't
find even a hint as to what wxPython expects "XPM data" to be.The obvious answer would be it's what's in an .xpm file, but
that doesn't work. I've tried manipulating the contents of the
.xpm file a half-dozen different ways, but no matter what I
try, wx.Bitmap() always returns a bitmap with a size of -1,-1
instead of 24,24.What's the expected format of "XPM data" for wx.Bitmap()?
