Is there a way to change the title of a wx.Frame AFTER the constructor
call?
The wx.Frame.__init__ call lists several parameters, including the
title to be used as the frame caption. However, in checking the
methods in the documentation I see no way to subsequently modify the
title. Am I mistaken?
Thanks in advance.

In the sense of the documentation of wxFrame mentioning it, no. In the
sense of no such method applying to wxFrame, yes. Use .SetTitle().
That method is found in the parent class, TopLevelWindow; see here:
http://docs.wxwidgets.org/2.6/wx_wxtoplevelwindow.html#wxtoplevelwindow
A good point is if you can’t find the method but it surely must exist, check
up the class hierarchy.

Another good way to find out what methods are available is to use
Python's built-in introspection tools. So for this case, I might do
this:
dir(wx.Frame)
This will print all of wx.Frame's methods (including its inherited
ones). Then you can run
help(wx.Frame.SomeMethod)
to learn more.

Thanks for your help - your suggestion worked perfectly.

I forgot to mention this, but I use WingWare's IDE and it does a lot
of this stuff automagically in their Source Assistant. If you're just
doing personal coding or open-source, they have some pretty cheap
licenses.
