Ian, see from Rene's note: http://pygame.org/wiki/gui

Using wxPython with Pygame doesn't mean you can put
GUI items inside your pygame window, and right now
pygame pops up its own window anyway when called from
wxpython so its the same as if you did an exec("python
my_pygame.py") from your wxpython app. 

If you want to try it out, look at the last code
example here:

http://wiki.wxpython.org/IntegratingPyGame

And I've attached a template for where you put your
pygame code. So just use the wiki wxpython example,
and import wxpy_pygame then replace SDLThread with
GameThread. Very simple. But its broken as I can't get
the pygame window to close. 

You have to use classes because everyone who wrote the
example code you are using did :)
