[Visualpython-users] vpython and wxPython

[Rochus S. <roc...@ch...>]

Hi,

Am I doing something wrong or is there a problem using wxPython from the
visualpython-Idle ?
(on w98!)

I tried the following to test it:
**************
from visual import *
from wxPython.wx import *

class MyApp(wxApp):
    def OnInit(self):
        frame = wxFrame(NULL, -1, "test")
        frame.Show(true)
        self.SetTopWindow(frame)
        s = sphere()
        return true

app = MyApp(0)
app.MainLoop()

*******************
if I try to run the program in the visualpython-IDLE I get the following
in the output window:

Visual-2000-06-10
Traceback (innermost last)
  File "c:\python\programs\wxpy_test\test.py", line 2, in ?
    from wxPython.wx import *
SystemError: bad argument to internal function

Program stopped.


However, when I just save the program as test.py from IDLE and start it
directly I get the wxWindow and the vpython window with a nifty white
sphere.

(I used tkinter in my python stuff but heard so many good things about
wxPython (and the demos *are* cool) that I wanted to try/learn it).
Well, I could just *not* use IDLE or use it simply as a text editor ...
I am just curious.

cheers,

rochus
