single window with a panel in it, but I keep getting an error. Here's my
code: (I know I might need something else, like a Show() method for the
panel, but the error stops on the first panel line anyway. I've tried a
Layout() method but it didn't get that far).
import wx
class MyFrame(wx.Frame):
def __init__(self, parent, title):
wx.Frame.__init__(self, parent, -1, title)
panel = wx.Panel(self)
class MyApp(wx.App):
def OnInit(self):
frame = MyFrame(None, 'My Test Frame')
frame.Show(True)
return True
app = MyApp()
app.MainLoop()
-----------------------
And the error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:\Python24\myscripts\wx_tests\wxtest.py", line 4, in -toplevel-
class MyFrame(wx.Frame):
File "C:\Python24\myscripts\wx_tests\wxtest.py", line 9, in MyFrame
panel = wx.Panel(self)
NameError: name 'self' is not defined
------------------
And if it helps, here is the code I'm using as a guide. It has the same
panel line, but obviously something about my code is different for the
'self' reference not to work:
#----------------------------------------------------------------------
# A very simple wxPython example. Just a wx.Frame, wx.Panel,
# wx.StaticText, wx.Button, and a wx.BoxSizer, but it shows the basic
# structure of any wxPython application.
