Dear Chris,
I apologize for this mail. I cann't post to the wxPython list.
Other adresses seem to work correctly; you can read this.
PS: To: or Cc: are correct.

Subject: Best coding practice when using sizers?
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit
Hi,
I am cleaning the code of some large applications I have. The plan is to
use sizers in every frame, panel, dialog window (Good idea, isn't it?).
I cann't decide, what is the best code to use.
1. In the declaration of the controls, should I use wx.DefaultPosition
and wx.DefaultSize or should I drop them (seems logical)?
w1 = wx.Window(self, wx.NewId(), wx.DefaultPosition, wx.DefaultSize)
or
w1 = wx.Window(self, wx.NewId())
2. StaticLine. The default thickness of the line is 2. It seems, this
value has changed in the different wxPython releases. Am I wrong ?
3. Sometimes one wishes a size value for an item/control, that is
different from the default value. Where is the best place to define it;
at the level of the control declaration or in the sizer manager with an
SetItemMinSize().
4. Just a final side note. The GridBagSizer does not seem to be very
healthy. Coding mistakes have crashed Python (win2k, Py242, wxPy2621).
Any reports about this ?
Thanks for any hint, experience.

Some code...
class MyPanel(wx.Panel):
def __init__(self, parent):
wx.Panel.__init__(self, parent, -1)
w1 = wx.Window(self, wx.NewId())
w1.SetBackgroundColour(wx.RED)
w2 = wx.Window(self, wx.NewId())
w2.SetBackgroundColour(wx.BLUE)
staline1 = wx.StaticLine(self, wx.NewId(),
style=wx.LI_HORIZONTAL)
print staline1.GetSize()
b1 = wx.Button(self, wx.NewId(), '&OK')
b2 = wx.Button(self, wx.NewId(), '&Cancel')
b = 5
hsizer1 = wx.BoxSizer(wx.HORIZONTAL)
hsizer1.Add(w1, 1, wx.EXPAND | wx.ALL, b)
hsizer1.Add(w2, 1, wx.EXPAND | wx.ALL, b)
hsizer2 = wx.BoxSizer(wx.HORIZONTAL)
hsizer2.Add(b1, 0)
hsizer2.Add(b2, 0, wx.LEFT, b)
vsizer1 = wx.BoxSizer(wx.VERTICAL)
vsizer1.Add(hsizer1, 1, wx.EXPAND | wx.ALL, b)
vsizer1.Add(staline1, 0, wx.EXPAND | wx.ALL, b)
vsizer1.Add(hsizer2, 0, wx.ALIGN_RIGHT | wx.ALL, b)
self.SetSizer(vsizer1)
