It works,and I find this seems only works on Windows,too:
wxSTAY_ON_TOP
Stay on top of all other windows, see also wxFRAME_FLOAT_ON_PARENT. Windows only.

I tried SetWindowStyle to change the style and it works on WinXP,python23,wxpython2.5.2.8. here is the sample code:

import wx
class myFrame(wx.Frame): # {{{
def __init__(self, parent):
wx.Frame.__init__(self, parent,-1,style=wx.DEFAULT_FRAME_STYLE|wx.STAY_ON_TOP)
self.Bind(wx.EVT_LEFT_UP,self.OnClick) #,self.panel_)
self.flag_ = True
def OnClick(self,evt):
## 改变窗口的样式
if self.flag_:
self.SetWindowStyle(wx.DEFAULT_FRAME_STYLE)
else:
self.SetWindowStyle(wx.DEFAULT_FRAME_STYLE|wx.STAY_ON_TOP)
self.flag_ = not self.flag_
print 'click'

def main(): # {{{
app = wx.PySimpleApp(0)
frame = myFrame(None)
frame.Show(True)
app.SetTopWindow(frame)
app.MainLoop()
# }}}
if __name__ == "__main__":main()

But why do I need that to stay on top when I have QuarkXPress running
fullscreen? Then its just wasting real estate. As long as I can keep
that in an upper corner, and make sure Internet Explorer doesn't overlap
it, it wouldn't need to be "stay on top" at all.
I still say this should be MY decision for MY desktop, not the
application designer's decision.

The customer wants to know the following: when a student login and logout, which machine he/she is using, check if he/she is a legal user and assign the user maximum access time (say, 10,000 minutes. if he/she use it up, the user can not login, the python iewin will stay on top and the user can not close it. So the user can not use any computers in this lab anymore).
> I implement an small application and install it on one of the PCs in the same computer lab (use it as a server). All users information are loaded into this small applicat ion. That python iewin (wxPython application) is installed on every computer in this lab. This iewin pops out when a PC turns on. I use the python ping module to check all computers regularly in this lab to see if it is on or off. So I can record the user's logout time. Everything works fine except
> It takes a while (5-7 seconds) for the wxpython iewin (I used py2exe to turn it into binary) to pop out even after window xp is ready for the user to click the icons on the screen. So the user has time to click MS IE icon on the screen. If he/she does so, the wx.STAY_ON_TOP of wxpython iewin does not work anymore. In fact, the wxpython iewin stays behind MS IE.
