I recommend that you use different event handlers to handle events from each button. If there is a lot of commonality, you can combine that into a function which returns a function with the specific behavior you want, for instance:

def goingTo(self, where):
    def goingToHandler(event):
        self.SetTitle("I'm going to " + where)
    return goingToHandler

def __init__(self):
    buttonA.Bind(wx.EVT_BUTTON, self.goingTo("work"))
    # clicking will say "I'm going to work"
    buttonB.Bind(wx.EVT_BUTTON, self.goingTo("home"))
    # clicking will say "I'm going to home"
