Problems with multiple panels in a single notebook page

I am creating a program to calculate D&D scores. I have all the backend done, and I want to get the GUI done now.

What I am trying to do here is have a static panel for certain buttons (next, previous, ok, cancel, etc.). The panel is not cooperating.

I want to try to get it on the bottom right (where next/previous buttons traditionally are). This panel can go in the notebook sizer or in the sizer sizerMain I have made for everything else in step_1.

Let me know if you have any questions. I am very new to wxPython and I hope you can deal with my code... :)

Code is below:

    def __init__(self, parent):
        wx.Panel.__init__(self, parent, id=wx.ID_ANY)

        ## Main sizer, containing both panels
        sizerMain = wx.BoxSizer(wx.VERTICAL)
        ## For the main control area
        panelControl = wx.Panel(self,2)
        sizerControl = wx.GridBagSizer(hgap = 4,vgap = 4)
        ## For buttons
        panelBtn = wx.Panel(self,1)
        sizerBtn = wx.BoxSizer(wx.HORIZONTAL)

        # Add widgets
        ## Main content area

You've got parenting problems!

For example, you want the widget self.lblRoll1 to be on the panelControl therefore you should make it a child of it.

e.g.

self.lblRoll1 = wx.StaticText(panelControl,label = "0")

This is your problem -it occurs throughout your code.

An indispensable tool for solving these type of issues is the Widget Inspection tool.

Also Id advise you to factor out the code for each panel into its own class (which would subclass wx.Panel). This will make it all much easier to read and maintain.
