Thanks.

I'm trying to get the dialog so I call
wx.App.GetTopWindow() but it returns the same dialog
on the second call even after I've dlg.EndModal(2) and
dlg.Destroy() the first dialog so I can't find a
second dialog.

Modal dialogs have their own event loop so you'll
need to call
dialog.EndModal to get it to exit.

There will need to be an iteration of the MainLoop before the Destroy actually results in the destruction of the dialog and having it remove itself from the internal top-level window list.
