Python shell sad it has no reference for "frame" but gets it right in another script

I am on a window xp and I've down loaded python 2.7.6 and wxpython 3.3, and i've run the following code

#import wx
 
class bucky(wx, frame):
 
    def __init__(self, parent,id):
        wx.Frame.__init__(self, prent, id, 'Frame aka window', size = (300,200))
 
if __name__== "__main__":
    app = wx.PySimpleApp()
    frame = bucky(parent = None, id = -1)
    frame.Show()
    app.MainLoop()#

from the new boston and the error message i get back is:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:\Python27\bucky test", line 3, in <module>
class bucky(wx, frame):
NameError: name 'frame' is not defined
what do i do
thank you

You misspelled "parent" in wx.Frame.__init__. The following code works for me, your original code does not.

import wx
 
class bucky(wx.Frame):
    def __init__(self, parent,id):
        wx.Frame.__init__(self, parent, id, 'Frame aka window', size = (300,200))
 
if __name__== "__main__":
    app = wx.PySimpleApp()
    frame = bucky(parent = None, id = -1)
    frame.Show()
    app.MainLoop()
