class Example(wx.Frame):

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

        self.InitUI()

    def InitUI(self):
        self.locale = wx.Locale(wx.LANGUAGE_ENGLISH)
        self.toolbar = self.CreateToolBar()
        td = self.toolbar.AddTool(1, '', wx.Bitmap('sep.png'))

        self.toolbar.Realize()
        self.Bind(wx.EVT_TOOL, self.OnOne, td)

        self.SetSize((350, 250))
        self.SetTitle('Undo redo')
        self.Centre()

    def OnOne(self, e):
        # insert separator b / w tick and cross tool
        self.toolbar.InsertSeparator( pos = 2)
        self.toolbar.Realize()

    def OnQuit(self, e):
        self.Close()


def main():

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


if __name__ == '__main__':
    main()

Output: before clicking separate icon: after clicking separate icon: Code Example 2:

Python3

import wx

class Example(wx.Frame):

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

        self.InitUI()

    def InitUI(self):

        td = self.toolbar.AddTool(1, '', wx.Bitmap('sep.png'))
        te = self.toolbar.AddTool(2, '', wx.Bitmap('right.png'))
        tf = self.toolbar.AddTool(3, '', wx.Bitmap('wrong.png'))

        self.toolbar.Realize()
        self.Bind(wx.EVT_TOOL, self.OnOne, td)

        self.SetSize((350, 250))
        self.SetTitle('Undo redo')
        self.Centre()

    def OnOne(self, e):
        for i in range(5):
            # insert 5 separator tick and cross tool
            self.toolbar.InsertSeparator( pos = 2)
            self.toolbar.Realize()

    def OnQuit(self, e):
        self.Close()


def main():

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


if __name__ == '__main__':
    main()
