wxPython (Flex)GridSizer Failing

Python v2.5
wxPython v2.8.3.0

I've got an app that has a wx.Panel managed by a FlexGridSizer. There
are 5 columns and 6 rows, all with StaticText widgets and all of
similar size. Everything works fine until I Clear and re-fill the
sizer a few times, then it puts all of the text in the upper-left
corner. I can clear/refill the grid to my hearts contents but it
doesn't fix itself. However, if I resize the main window the next
clear/refill will display correctly and _sometimes_ the current fill
will change and display correctly.

I have an identical panel directly below it (vertical box-sizer) with
the same number of columns but only 1 row and it never has a problem.
Both panels are identical because it's the same custom derived class
creating them and both are added to the box-sizer in an identical way.

I tried changing to an (un-flexible) GridSizer and got a different
display but the same problem. If anything, it occurs sooner.

Any ideas on what is happening?

It sounds kind of like your app isn't redrawing correctly or your not
calling the sizer's Fit() method after re-filling it. You might try
that. Also, I highly recommend posting wxPython questions to their
users group. They are usually quite helpful and knowledgeable:

I'm still deciding about using Tkinter or wxPython for a project I have (sigefi, on SF). The decision is not made, I have to finish first a little program that will be done in both GUIs, and then make a choice (I'll write something about the experiment, I'll let you know). In this context, I got worried when a friend of mine (codeveloper of sigefi) could not install PyNSource because wxPythonGTK been always using private methods from...

I'm writing my 2nd large wxPython program, and after the problems I found doing the first's layout in code, I'd like to look at using a 'WYSIWYG' IDE, like VisualStudio does for MFC. I've tried a few that I found, wxGlade is probably the best, although it seems to be not 100% WYSIWYG (like the widgets in the preview are not much like the final program), wxDesigner has a horrid GUI for a GUI designer! VisualWX gave me the 'now what?'...

Hi, i need to develop a gui which will load several "windows" depending on what the users selects in the menu and i thought i could accomplish this with panels. What i'm trying to do to test this is load an initial panel and then when the user hits a button load a second panel. This doesn't seem to work. 1. what's the appropriate way of switching panels? 2. the loadNewPanel function seem wrong. I always get loading panel two".

Trying to get my feet wet with wxPython (moving from just command-line apps), I tried the obvious (or, at least to me was obvious): Start python, "import wx" and then do a "help(wx)" to see what it can tell me. Unfortunately, it spewed back a handful of errors, gasped, wheezed and died semi-hideously.
