Question

When you launch wxPython’s wx.App(True) object, it will send stdout/stderr to a popup window. Is there a way to tie that to a panel in my Frame object? Please, please post code to do that!

If there is no way to do that, is there a way to create a scrolling text widget that accepts appended text from a logger that captures stdout/stderr and then sends it to that widget?

You can quite easily duck-type an object to redirect stdout/err to as shown here http://www.blog.pythonlibrary.org/2009/01/01/wxpython-redirecting-stdout-stderr/

The actual redirection is just assigning the appropriate names in sys to your redirect

sys.stdout = redirect
sys.stderr = redirect
