Suppose my entry point is:
class MyApp( wx.App ):
def OnInit(self):
#read in config?
#set wx.App.myConfigData?
frame = MyFirstFrame(None,"Some title")
frame.Show(True)
self.SetTopWindow(frame)
So this is where to read in the initial prefs into (e.g.) a dict, then have the Preferences panel modify that dict and have the various logic throughout the app use it as well...
If I'm mistaken, please stop me before I hurt myself =) Otherwise, thanks for this very helpful pointer.

Inherit your main class from wx.App and create the main frame
of your app in this class' __init__.
Call your config reader also in this __init__. Perhaps make
your own config class (perhaps derived from dict) that can
read & write a (XML) file.
I'd send you my code, but it does a lot of stuff that will
only confuse you (it's a two-step inherited twisted+wx app
class that keeps a proxy database connection, keeps track of
running processes etc.), and it would be a lot of work to
sort that out.

Maybe I misunderstand your goals, but this sounds like a job for wx.Config()
class MyApp( wx.App ):
def OnInit(self):
self.SetVendor('me')
self.SetApplication('myprogram')
config = wx.Config()
title_setting = config.Read('Title', "Some title")
frame = MyFirstFrame(None,title_setting)
frame.Show(True)
self.SetTopWindow(frame)
# viola, it is really that simple.
# you can do confg = wx.Config() anywhere in your app. Given that the app
# has vendor and application properties set the same, it will access the same
# config file/registry.

Hmm... Actually, that could work out, if I understand it correctly. I've never had occasion to use wx.App before
So every class that is part of an application shares a wx.App object? And as such, I can have references to wx.GetApp().objPrefs that all point to the same Prefs object, regardless of which class is referring to it?
