Sounds ok to me, but I'm no guru. Also, there are a limited amount of
wxTimers that you may construct. (i've never hit the limit myself).

Subject: RE: [wxPython-users] background processThanks, that's exactly what I was looking for. It'll help out a ton.
Then I suppose I would just set up a separate timer event for each
separate thing that needed to happen at different time intervals?On Wed, 2003-07-09 at 13:36, Wyant, Jaime wrote:
Try a wxTimer. Check out the code below.
from wxPython.wx import *
class MyFrame( wxFrame ):
def __init__( self ):
wxFrame.__init__( self, None, -1, "Test" )
self.SetSize( wxSize( 240, 240 ) )# Create a timer. First create the timer's id
timer_id = wxNewId()# Now construct the timer
self.timer = wxTimer(self, timer_id )# Create an event handler for the timer
EVT_TIMER(self, timer_id, self.on_time )# Start the timer
self.timer.Start( 2000 )def on_time( self, e ):
print " 2 seconds have elapsed since the timer started "class MyApp( wxApp ):
def OnInit( self ):
frame = MyFrame()
frame.Show( true )
return truedef main():
app = MyApp(0)
app.MainLoop()if __name__ == "__main__":
main()HTH,
