The demo of PrintDialog.py shows me that this is just what I need in my
application without re-inventing the wheel. When I look at the demo I get the
impression that it's designed to print whatever is in the window behind it.
Is this correct?
If I have several files stored on disk I'd like the user to be able to
select which file to print. Is there an existing modification of the
PrintDialog that includes a file selector?

In the demo, yes. In actual practice, not necessarily.

Printing in wxPython is accomplished by plugging in to the Print Framework, and providing a class that knows how to draw each page that is to be printed. So to do what you are wanting you would create an application that allows the user to select a file, and provides a wx.Printout class that knows how to draw each page of that file.
