Vertical sizing of a wxRadioBox

When using wxRadioBox with style= wxRB_SINGLE, the box surrounding the
buttons is too tall. I have tried specifying a size, but this only seems
to affect the width and not the height. Is this a function of the sizers
instead? The code I am using to create the RadioBox is this:

#Create the radio box that displays the input source options. wxRB_SINGLE
makes them appear side by side
        self.source=wxRadioBox(self, -1, majorDimension = 1,
            label='Select input source:',
            choices=['Select command below','Read input from file'],
            size=(280,0), style= wxRB_SINGLE)
        EVT_RADIOBOX(self, -1, self.SetMode)

box = wxBoxSizer(wxVERTICAL)

How do you add the RadioBox to the Sizer? Hint: if you don't...there's
your problem!

I do. (I was about to add that when I hit the return button on my keyboard
and my mailer decided to send three copies of my message out -- sorry
about that)

The RadioBox is in a sizer with several other things. Could that be the
problem?

box.Add(self.source, 2, wxALL, 15)

The wxRB_SINGLE style is for the wxRadioButton class, so wxRadioBox is probably interpreting it as something else.
