I think the same thing came up on comp.lang.python a bit more than a
month ago. The problem might be that the JComboBox has another type signature
for it's actionPerformed. The workaround was to explicitly set the
actionPerformed attribute, much like one would do in Java.
Someone else gave the correct reply, I don't remember whom.
You might look for python and JComboBox (or was it a JButton there?)
in google.
