First derive a class which is a subclass of wxStyledTextCtrl

class Script:public wxStyledTextCtrl

The following code is for Lua, but the same logic is applicable to any language. So you will need to modify it for Python and add the code to your constructor.

SetLexer(wxSTC_LEX_LUA); //Dont forget to set the lexer to Python
m_LuaKeywords =_T("and break do else elseif end false for function if in local nil not or repeat return then true until while pairs ipairs");     
SetWordChars(wxT("0123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMONPQRSTUVWXYZ._") );
SetKeyWords(0,m_LuaKeywords);
SetFont(font);

StyleSetForeground(0,  wxColour(128, 128, 128)); // White space
StyleSetForeground(wxSTC_LUA_COMMENT,  wxColour(0,   127, 0));   // Block Comment
font.SetPointSize(10); font.Italic();
StyleSetFont(wxSTC_LUA_COMMENT, font);
StyleSetUnderline(wxSTC_LUA_COMMENT, false);

StyleSetForeground(wxSTC_LUA_COMMENTLINE, wxColour(0,   127, 0));   //Line Comment
StyleSetFont(wxSTC_LUA_COMMENTLINE,font);    //doc. Comment
StyleSetUnderline(wxSTC_LUA_COMMENTLINE, false);

font.SetPointSize(11);font.SetStyle(wxFONTSTYLE_NORMAL);
StyleSetForeground(wxSTC_LUA_NUMBER, wxColour(127, 127, 127)); // Number
StyleSetFont(wxSTC_LUA_NUMBER, font);

StyleSetForeground(wxSTC_LUA_STRING, wxColour(0,   0,   127)); // Double quoted string
StyleSetBold(wxSTC_LUA_STRING,  true);
StyleSetUnderline(wxSTC_LUA_STRING, false);

If you look at wx/stc/stc.h, you will see that the states for Python are as follows:

/// Lexical states for SCLEX_PYTHON
#define wxSTC_P_DEFAULT 0
#define wxSTC_P_COMMENTLINE 1
#define wxSTC_P_NUMBER 2
#define wxSTC_P_STRING 3
#define wxSTC_P_CHARACTER 4
#define wxSTC_P_WORD 5
#define wxSTC_P_TRIPLE 6
#define wxSTC_P_TRIPLEDOUBLE 7
#define wxSTC_P_CLASSNAME 8
#define wxSTC_P_DEFNAME 9
#define wxSTC_P_OPERATOR 10
#define wxSTC_P_IDENTIFIER 11
#define wxSTC_P_COMMENTBLOCK 12
#define wxSTC_P_STRINGEOL 13
#define wxSTC_P_WORD2 14
#define wxSTC_P_DECORATOR 15
