I'm sure there are many ways of doing it, but I have always done it by
giving FrameB a reference to FrameA. Something like:

class FrameA(wx.Frame):
    ...
    def OnSomethingClicked(self, event):
        f = FrameB(self, ...)
        f.Show()
        event.Skip()

    # This function does the updating of the control, to make things
    # easier to maintain than having FrameB manipulate controls
    # of FrameA directly.
    def UpdateSomeControl(self, ...):
        ...

class FrameB(wx.Frame):
    def __init__(self, frameA, ...):
        self.frameA = frameA

    def OnOtherThingClicked(self, event):
        self.frameA.UpdateSomeControl(...)
