Thanks a lot for this solution! I think this will do just fine

are, (they don't derive from the right class in C++ so I can't track
custom user data with them.) Instead a new proxy object is created on
the fly by SWIG whenever it is needed, and any extra attributes you
attached to the original proxies are lost.What I would do instead in this case it to simply keep a dictionary that
maps the menu IDs to the data values you want. Something like this:self.menuMap = {}
mi = wx.MenuItem(smenu, wx.NewId(), "&Started", "", wx.ITEM_NORMAL)
self.menuMap[mi.GetId()] = songs.SS_STARTEDAnd later in the event handler you can get to the data value like this:
data = self.menuMap[event.GetId()]
