[wxPython] Help with wxChoice!

I need help in understanding how to add an additional entry to a wxChoice
dropdown list box. The wxWindows doc shows:

     void Append(const wxString& item)
     Adds the item to the end of the choice control.

So in python, would I use something like:

     wxchoicename.Append("ABC123")

That is what I'm doing and I don't get an error but the new value isn't
being appended either.

Any help is appreciated!

Works for me. I changed the wxChoice.py in the demo like below and
everytime I select an item a new one is added to the drop down. Which
platform are you on?

class TestChoice(wxPanel):
    def __init__(self, parent, log):
        self.log = log
        wxPanel.__init__(self, parent, -1)

        sampleList = ['zero', 'one', 'two', 'three', 'four', 'five',
                      'six', 'seven', 'eight']

        wxStaticText(self, -1, "This example uses the wxChoice control.",
                               wxPoint(15, 10))

        wxStaticText(self, -1, "Select one:", wxPoint(15, 50), wxSize(75,
20))
        self.ch = wxChoice(self, 40, (80, 50), (95, 125),
                 choices = sampleList)
        EVT_CHOICE(self, 40, self.EvtChoice)

    def EvtChoice(self, event):
        self.log.WriteText('EvtChoice: %s\n' % event.GetString())
        self.ch.Append("A new item")
