wxPython adding frames with multiple selection option

Question

I need to create a Python frame as shown in the attached picutre.

Let me know how to accomplish it.

There are totally 3 blocks.. 1.header 2.Navigation 3.Main content..

Navigation block should be mutiple frames..each time you select a option it needs to change..

It has to be more like a menu navigation

Use a wx.StaticText for the top part as a label, then use a wx.Notebook (or one of the other "book" widgets) for the rest. See the following tutorial:
