Not uless you explicitly create the object as self.myObject. Otherwise
the button is bound to the name in the local (function) scope, and the
binding is 'lost' when the function exits. The button will still exist,
but will not be a property of the class.
Basically you want to do this:
self.cmdButton = wx.Button(...) #or Dabo equivalent
Rather than:
cmdButton = wx.Button(...)

See above.

Same answer. If you want to refer to an object as a property of a
class, you have to at some point say self.object = ...
