Awk is for modifying existing data. You are adding completely new lines, so
the best tool for the job would be cat.

for filename in /path/to/app/source/*py

do if ! grep wxversion $filename

then echo "import wxversion
wxversion.select('3.0.2.0')
import os, time, wx" > $filename.new

cat $filename >> $filename.new

mv $filename.new $filename

fi

done
