I have a python script which creates a wx.App, which creates a wx.Frame
(which has a wx.Timer).
looks sorta like this:
class MyProgram:
def __init__(self):
self.app = MyApp(0)
self.app.MainLo op()
class MyApp(wx.App):
def OnInit(self):
self.myframe= MyFrame()
self.myframe.Sh ow(True)
self.SetTopWind ow(self.myframe )
return True
class MyFrame(wx.Fram e):
def __init__(self):
# do some other stuff here
# setup the timer
self.timer = wx.Timer(self)
self.Bind(wx.EV T_TIMER, self.OnTimer, self.timer)
self.timer.Star t(100)
def killTimer(self) :
self.Unbind(wx. EVT_TIMER)
self.timer.Stop ()
self.timer = None
.....that's the jist of it.
Anyhow, so I startup python and import my script, which loads up the
wx.App, frame and all.
foo = MyProgram()
Then I close the frame. when the frame is closed it calls killTimer.
This method gets called and no exceptions occur.
Then...I create a new instance of the app and try to load the frame
again.
foo = MyProgram()
....and I am getting this error:
"timer can only be started from the main thread"
how can I fix this??
FYI, my script is being started by a new thread each time, so
ultimately we have....
def startProgram():
foo = MyProgram()
threading.Threa d(target=startP rogram).start()
Thanks in advance. 4 2887

Fix: Start the script from the main thread only.

You must not access wx from more than one thread. Read their wiki about
this and about the appropriate workaround.

I wrote a GUI program on windows. (python & wxPython)
One function is to refresh the data from the COM Object continously.
In the beginning, I used the thread.start_new_thread(xxx,())
But no matter how i try, it will cause the win32com error.
After that, i use the wx.Timer to do the refresh function.
It works fine, but i find one problem.
I think timer should be independant, just like thread, but wxTimer doesn't.

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.

For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
