class Example(wx.Frame):
    global count
    count = 0;

    def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
        super(Example, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs)

        self.InitUI()

    def InitUI(self):
        self.locale = wx.Locale(wx.LANGUAGE_ENGLISH)
        pnl = wx.Panel(self)
        self.toolbar = self.CreateToolBar()
        # Add Tools Using AddTool function
        rtool = self.toolbar.AddTool(13, 'twoTool', wx.Bitmap('wrong.png'), shortHelp =&quot;Simple Tool2&quot;)

        self.SetSize((350, 250))
        self.SetTitle('Control')
        self.Centre()

        # print wx.ToolBarToolBase object of tool
        print(self.toolbar.FindById(13))


def main():

    ex = Example(None)
    ex.Show()
    app.MainLoop()


if __name__ == '__main__':
    main()

Output :

<wx._core.ToolBarToolBase object at 0x0000003D2DB241F0>
