Display number in rectangle

Note that I am using Python3 and Phoenix.

I would like to display a number (double, but that does not matter now) formatted in some way (again, no matter what that way is) within a rectangle: almost a wx.StaticText but not editable by the user. This is to display some data coming from some hardware, such as a temperature.

Is there such a widget?

I tried with using the default wx.StaticText with a style but I must have done something wrong:

    hbox = wx.BoxSizer(wx.HORIZONTAL)

    title = wx.StaticText(parent, label=label)
    title.SetLabelMarkup("<b>{}</b>".format(label))
    hbox.Add(title, border=5)

    value = wx.StaticText(parent, label="3.141592", style=wx.BORDER_RAISED)
    value.SetWindowStyle(wx.BORDER_SIMPLE)
    hbox.Add(value, border=5)

    title = wx.StaticText(parent, label="\u2103")
    hbox.Add(title, border=5)

Shows this on Linux (Fedora 24, GTK):

Wouldn't using a wx.TextCtrl set to read only do the job?

Temp = wx.TextCtrl(panel1, value="3.141592", style=wx.TE_READONLY)
Temp.SetBackgroundColour('green')

The simplest solution is to just use wxStaticText with a border style (e.g. wxBORDER_SIMPLE, ...). If you don't like the appearance this results in, it's pretty simple to make your own widget drawing whatever border you desire: just create a window, define its wxEVT_PAINT handler and draw the (presumably centered) text in it and a border outside of it.
