wx.KeyEvent - how can they be used?

how do I make the next piece of code work?

import wx

class MyFrame(wx.Frame):
     def __init__(self):
         wx.Frame.__init__(self, None, -1, "Test")
         self.text = wx.TextCtrl(self, -1)
         self.Fit()
         self.text.Bind(wx.EVT_LEFT_DOWN, self.OnLeftDown)
         self.Show()

     def OnLeftDown(self, event):
         evt = wx.KeyEvent(wx.EVT_CHAR_HOOK)
         evt.m_keycode = wx.WXK_HOME
         self.text.GetEventHandler().ProcessEvent(evt)

app = wx.PySimpleApp()
app.SetTopWindow(MyFrame())
app.MainLoop()

what I need is something like:
enter some text, press the left button and the cursor goes at home position via a keyevent.
This is a concept question... I need the keyevent posted/handled not something like:
self.text.SetInsertionPoint(0)

Thanks in advance.

There is no way to send wx events such that the native control will receive the native message that coresponds to the event.
