Custom controls and Bind/Unbind

No, it should be doing the right thing alread. A reference to the handler function is held by the structure which is added to the dynamic event table that is built by the Bind/Connect methods. That table and its items (and the PyObject references) are released when the widget or EvtHandler is destroyed.

Oops, I accidentally posted this question to the -dev list yesterday...

Hello,

I have a custom control that inherits from wx.EvtHandler (but not
wx.Window). Several thousands of the controls may be dynamically created
and destroyed while the applications is running. When the control is
created its Bind() method is called to associate an event handler with
the control. Currently, I do not call Unbind() when the control is
destroyed. My question is: if I do not call Unbind(), will the
wx/wxpython event handling code continue to keep some reference to the
control or the binding between the control and handler, resulting in
memory or performance issues?
