I wrote about Frame styles a while ago on my blog. To remove all the buttons, you could do this:

import wx

########################################################################
class NoSystemMenuFrame(wx.Frame):
    """
    There is no system menu, which means the title bar is there, but
    no buttons and no menu when clicking the top left hand corner
    of the frame
    """

    #----------------------------------------------------------------------
    def __init__(self):
        """Constructor"""
        no_sys_menu = wx.CAPTION
        wx.Frame.__init__(self, None, title="No System Menu", style=no_sys_menu)
        panel = wx.Panel(self)
        self.Show()

#----------------------------------------------------------------------
if __name__ == "__main__":
    app = wx.App(False)
    frame = NoSystemMenuFrame()
    app.MainLoop()

I tried setting the style to wx.DEFAULT_FRAME_STYLE & (~wx.CLOSE_BOX) & (~wx.MAXIMIZE_BOX) and to wx.DEFAULT_FRAME_STYLE^(wx.CLOSE_BOX|wx.MAXIMIZE_BOX), but both of those seem to only remove the Close box. For some reason, the Maximize button is still there on my Xubuntu machine.
