Working with multiple names with small differences is error-prone.
You should give a method a name that describes what it does rather than when 
it's invoked:

> class MainAuiManager(aui.AuiManager):
>     def __init__(self, managed_window=None, agwFlags=0)
>         aui.AuiManager.__init__(self, managed_window, agwFlags)

          self.Bind(wx.EVT_LEFT_DCLICK, self.EatMagicMushroom)
          self.Bind(wx.EVT_LEFT_DCLICK, self.KillBlueMonster)
          self.Bind(wx.EVT_LEFT_DCLICK, self.SingDitty)
