wx.Timer not working

[5lvqbwl02]

Windows XP SP3
Python 2.5
wx.version() = '2.8.1.1 (msw-unicode)'
------
I have written the following *simplest* implementation of wx.timer I
can think of. No workie. I want an exception, a print statement, or
something.

The wxpython demos all work, but for some reason this isn't. The
demos are simple and straghtforward, so I think I understand how it
should work. Clues please? I've tried variations of ID's, SetOwners,
using and redefining Notify(), Bind, Connect, etc. In the cases where
the interpreter doesn't complain about passed argument types, the
callback function is never called.


import wx

class MyFrame(wx.Frame):
def __init__(self, parent, id, title):
wx.Frame.__init__(self, parent, id, title, pos=(100, 100))

timer = wx.Timer(self, -1)
self.Bind(wx.EVT_TIMER, self.OnTick, timer)
timer.Start(100)

def OnTick(self, event):
print 'Hi. Bye.'
1/0 #<-- should crash as evidence callback is being called

class MyApp(wx.App):
def OnInit(self):
frame1 = MyFrame(None, wx.ID_ANY, "This is a test")
frame1.Show(True)
return True

app = MyApp(0)
app.MainLoop()


Thanks for any advice!!

I'm not seeing anything either. Please post this to the wxPython
user's group for additional help:

I think I figured it out. By looking at the wxTimer example here:
http://wiki.wxpython.org/AnotherTutorial#head-420329f7c159d81cb03a6dd226ddb822ea296c92

My code created a temporary timer object and did not make it a class
member. When I changed it to be a class member with self.timer, then
it worked.

thanks

Ah...I didn't even think about that. I noticed I had self.timer in my
code, but I didn't realize it was required. Sorry I wasn't of more
help. Still, you can learn a lot from the wxPython user's group just
by reading other people's posts.
