Your "Question" is a little bit hard to read/understand. More Information would be great. – cptPH May 03 '12 at 12:34

You'll need to use a TextCtrl in Rich Text mode or the StyledTextCtrl. Then you'll want to monitor the key presses so you can tell when the user has pressed the spacebar and act on that. You should check out Editra, a Python Editor created in wxPython and included with the wxPython demo and docs package. I am pretty sure it has this functionality already.

I'll look into that, I could also do with knowing how to check if the a directory is the same as the directory the file is in – SC7639 May 03 '12 at 14:17
