OK, I've reviewed the code, and now my memory is returning. ;-)
wxPython hides single ampersands, and displays double ampersands as a
single. So if you want to set the title of your form to read "My AT&T
Phone Bill", you would have to write:
self.Form.Caption = "My AT&&T Phone Bill"
We felt that that was way too hack-ish, and too wxPython-specific, so
we modified the code to automatically convert this behind the scenes.
What you're trying to do, though, is something very different: include
an ampersand as a hidden character indicating a shortcut key. IOW, you
want the hackish behavior that we were trying to work around.
Let me think about this a bit more in order to come up with a
solution for both needs. Suggestions are welcome.
