I am trying to teach myself how to program in Python and use wxPython
for GUIs. I am using PyScripter, IDLE and EditPlus as my IDEs. I have
experienced an odd problem where I run a script once and it runs fine.
Run it again and I get an error and the script fails.
If the script is run directly from Python ('Run' from Windows Explorer)
or from EditPlus (in which I have a "user-defined tool" which calls
C:\Python25\pythonw.exe with the parameter of $(FileName)) then there is
*never* any error, no matter how many times the script is run.
Close down PyScripter or IDLE and then start either up again, load the
script and run it - it runs fine. Run it again and it fails. It seems
like something is already set in memory and cant be re-set (my lack of
knowledge is showing here :-( ).
More details are shown below. Any help or hints would be greatly
appreciated.
Regards,
Peter
RUNNING SIMPLE.PY (AND OTHER SCRIPTS USING WXPYTHON) FROM PYSCRIPTER I
GET THE FOLLOWING ERROR MESSAGE:
PyNoAppError: The wx.App object must be created first!
PyScripter loads a module (I presume from wxPython) called _windows.py
and highlights a particular line in red and displays the error message
from above. I have Googled the error message but the results have not
helped.
