Seen some complex answers here.  Let's keep it dead simple.  Use the
datetime module to do the heavy lifting.  Go to IDLE, write this.

import datetime.

Then start to write this:

difference = datetime.date(

and at that point IDLE will tell you to put in year,month,day.  That's
convenient.  Do as IDLE asks, obey IDLE!  Wind up with this (put date
later in history first, here are two I've used):

difference = datetime.date(2007,9,25) - datetime.date(1970,12,25)
print difference

13419 days, 0:00:00

Hey now!  Date math!  Yeah!

I don't get the need for self.tab12_child...You can just add the
textctrl to
a notebook directly, it will automatically fill the whole notebook
page
and resize as the notebook resizes.  If instead you don't want it
taking
up the whole area of the notebook page, you'd put a self.tab12 as the
page,
then set the sizer on that panel, then add the notebook to that sizer.
Don't
know where the button is supposed to go. Beyond this, it is difficult
to
say what you should do as it is hard to picture this precisely from
your
description.
