WXPython Event Handling - Button
When I'm running the following code, I received the error (image attached) I have a button called btn and when I add it to my right panel I cannot move its position, does anyone knows how can I do that? And another issue is that I'd like to call that specific button when I click on Big Script on the left panel, however I have no clue how to do this, I tried to put the button on the OnSelChanged method but I wasn't able to make it work.
The whole code is down below so it's easier to copy-paste it.

One last question would be, do you know any resources other than the documentation to understand more in depth about this library? (Youtube videos, Udemy, etc)
Solution
A few things to mention:
Using a position statement when using a sizer is pointless, it will be ignored.
The sizer type determines placement. You have chosen a vertical boxsizer, so everything will be arranged vertically. You can use an alignment style when adding a widget or choose a different sizer type, more befitting your requirements.
I've moved the callback function of the button inside the class.
The button callback function can be called separately, if you are not depending on the event values and you send a dummy event parameter, usually None
