[Boa Constr] Boa - difficulties with custom classes - think I have found a bug

[Tim B. <ti...@tb...>]

Hi,
I have been following the page http://wiki.wxpython.org/BoaFAQ.

I seem to have upset Boa and I cant see what I have done. Can anyone 
offer a clue?

The application I am working on runs in my development environment 
(WingIDE) as intended, but BOA says that the items defined in the custom 
classes statement are not defined on the palette.
I only mention it working under WingIDE so that you know there are no 
syntax errors and nothing missing from what I am doing.

If I hand change the calls to the custom classes and replace with the 
base class, boa will permit editing AND setting of the class via the 
constr class field just like the BoaFAQ page seems to be saying.

However if you then save your work and re use the design tool, Boa says 
that the custom classes are not defined on the palette.  Argggggh!

I start with this code:

------------------------------------------------------

#Boa:Frame:Frame1

import FramePanelPage1  # exists and works
import FramePanelPage2 # exists and works
import wx

def create(parent):
    return Frame1(parent)

[wxID_FRAME1, wxID_FRAME1NOTEBOOK1, wxID_FRAME1PANEL1, wxID_FRAME1PANEL2,
] = [wx.NewId() for _init_ctrls in range(4)]


class Frame1(wx.Frame):       
    _custom_classes = {'wx.Panel': ['FramePanelPage1.FramePanelPage1', 
'FramePanelPage2.FramePanelPage2']}
   
    def _init_coll_notebook1_Pages(self, parent):
        # generated method, don't edit

        parent.AddPage(imageId=-1, page=self.panel1, select=True, 
text='Pages0')
        parent.AddPage(imageId=-1, page=self.panel2, select=False,
              text='Pages1')

    def _init_ctrls(self, prnt):
        # generated method, don't edit
        wx.Frame.__init__(self, id=wxID_FRAME1, name='', parent=prnt,
              pos=wx.Point(524, 155), size=wx.Size(835, 708),
              style=wx.DEFAULT_FRAME_STYLE, title='Frame1')
        self.SetClientSize(wx.Size(827, 674))

        self.notebook1 = wx.Notebook(id=wxID_FRAME1NOTEBOOK1, 
name='notebook1',
              parent=self, pos=wx.Point(0, 0), size=wx.Size(827, 674), 
style=0)

        self.panel1 = wx.Panel(id=wxID_FRAME1PANEL1, name='panel1',
              parent=self, pos=wx.Point(0, 0), size=wx.Size(819, 648),
              style=wx.TAB_TRAVERSAL)

        self.panel2 = wx.Panel(id=wxID_FRAME1PANEL2, name='panel2',
              parent=self, pos=wx.Point(0, 0), size=wx.Size(819, 648),
              style=wx.TAB_TRAVERSAL)

        self._init_coll_notebook1_Pages(self.notebook1)

    def __init__(self, parent):
        self._init_ctrls(parent)

-----------------------------------------

I edit in BOA - not by hand and get this

------------------------------------------
#Boa:Frame:Frame1

import FramePanelPage1
import FramePanelPage2
import wx

def create(parent):
    return Frame1(parent)

[wxID_FRAME1, wxID_FRAME1NOTEBOOK1, wxID_FRAME1PANEL1, wxID_FRAME1PANEL2,
] = [wx.NewId() for _init_ctrls in range(4)]


class Frame1(wx.Frame):       
    _custom_classes = {'wx.Panel': ['FramePanelPage1.FramePanelPage1', 
'FramePanelPage2.FramePanelPage2']}
   
    def _init_coll_notebook1_Pages(self, parent):
        # generated method, don't edit

        parent.AddPage(imageId=-1, page=self.panel1, select=False,
              text='Pages0')
        parent.AddPage(imageId=-1, page=self.panel2, select=True, 
text='Pages1')

    def _init_ctrls(self, prnt):
        # generated method, don't edit
        wx.Frame.__init__(self, id=wxID_FRAME1, name='', parent=prnt,
              pos=wx.Point(524, 155), size=wx.Size(835, 708),
              style=wx.DEFAULT_FRAME_STYLE, title='Frame1')
        self.SetClientSize(wx.Size(827, 674))

        self.notebook1 = wx.Notebook(id=wxID_FRAME1NOTEBOOK1, 
name='notebook1',
              parent=self, pos=wx.Point(0, 0), size=wx.Size(827, 674), 
style=0)

        self.panel1 = FramePanelPage1.FramePanelPage1(id=wxID_FRAME1PANEL1,
              name='panel1', parent=self, pos=wx.Point(0, 0),
              size=wx.Size(819, 648), style=wx.TAB_TRAVERSAL)

        self.panel2 = FramePanelPage2.FramePanelPage2(id=wxID_FRAME1PANEL2,
              name='panel2', parent=self, pos=wx.Point(0, 0),
              size=wx.Size(819, 648), style=wx.TAB_TRAVERSAL)

        self._init_coll_notebook1_Pages(self.notebook1)

    def __init__(self, parent):
        self._init_ctrls(parent)

-----------------------------------

You can see that Boa has made the custom class substitution

Now I ask Boa to edit again

        DesignerError: FramPanelPage1.FramePanelPage1 is not defined on 
the Palette.

Surely if this were true then Boa wouldn't have let me select the 
classes in the first place!

What's happening?
 How do I get Boa to let me edit the code, other than my me hand 
removing the custom classes?

Thanks for any help
