wxPython does indeed support this functionality. You need to research
the style flags of the wx.Frame object though.

When you instantiate your frame, do something like this:

<code>

self.frame = wx.Frame(None, -1, title='My Frame', style=wx.STAY_ON_TOP|
wx.DEFAULT_FRAME_STYLE)

</code>

Notice that I also passed it the wx.DEFAULT_FRAME_STYLE style flag.
This should give you the minimize, maximize and close buttons too. If
you do not pass that extra flag, then the frame will not have that
functionality and you'll have to kill your application from the Task
Manager.
