class MyTree(wx.TreeCtrl): 
  
    def __init__(self, parent, id, pos, size, style): 
        wx.TreeCtrl.__init__(self, parent, id, pos, size, style) 
  
  
class TreePanel(wx.Panel): 
  
    def __init__(self, parent): 
        wx.Panel.__init__(self, parent) 
          
        # create tree control in window 
        self.tree = MyTree(self, wx.ID_ANY, wx.DefaultPosition, 
                           wx.DefaultSize, wx.TR_HAS_BUTTONS) 
          
        # CREATE TREE ROOT 
        self.root = self.tree.AddRoot('root'
        self.tree.SetPyData(self.root, ('key', 'value')) 
  
        # add item to root 
        item = self.tree.AppendItem(self.root, "Item"
        item2 = self.tree.AppendItem(self.root, "Item"
        item3 = self.tree.AppendItem(item, "SubItem")
        item4 = self.tree.AppendItem(item, "SubItem")
        item5 = self.tree.AppendItem(item2, "SubItem")
        item6 = self.tree.AppendItem(item, "SubItem")
  
        # expand root node
        self.tree.Expand(self.root)
  
        # expand all nodes of the tree
        self.tree.ExpandAllChildren(item) 
          
        sizer = wx.BoxSizer(wx.VERTICAL) 
        sizer.Add(self.tree, 0, wx.EXPAND) 
        self.SetSizer(sizer) 
  
  
class MainFrame(wx.Frame):
