(The code for it has evolved a bit since then, but it's still the same
principle.)
Now I have a problem with it. When I do
`self.Bind(thread_timer.EVT_THREAD_TIMER, some_method)`, I want to be
able to use the id/source parameters of the `Bind` method. I want to
be able to differentiate between different ThreadTimer events.
What would be a good way to this?
I've tried sticking some random number like this: `event =
wx.PyEvent(1138)`, and this works and would let me differentiate as I
wish, but I don't want to conflict with wxPython's id scheme.
For some reason I am pretty sure I remember that being somebody else's idea...

Just do it like any other widget does. Give the thread an ID when you create it.
ID_THREAD1 = wx.NewId()
ThreadTimer(parent, id)
Then just store the ID and use it when the thread fires its events.

That’s right, ThreadTimer was your idea that you suggested and it solved my problem. You wrote the original code and I developed it further. Thus it can be said we have both developed ThreadTimer. I was not trying to claim I invented it.

Sounds great, this is exactly what I was hoping wxPython will provide me. I’ll use it.
