name space misunderstanding

Hi,

On this code:
from wx.py import editor
self.m_notebook = editor.EditorNotebook(parent=self,id=-1,style=wx.NB_LEFT)

I get a
TypeError: __init__() got an unexpected keyword argument 'style'

Yet if I look at the code, style is there ...

Any clue ? thanks

Philippe

editor.EditorNotebook(parent=self,id=-1,style=wx.NB_LEFT)
I get a
TypeError: __init__() got an unexpected keyword argument 'style'
Yet if I look at the code, style is there ...

I have seen this in other places. As far as I know it means the function is
not expecting **kwargs, only an argument list. So, try dropping the style=
part.

And that works ... but I do want those tabs on the left :slight_smile: !

I'll have to patch editor.py for now I guess.

Thanks,

Philippe

No it isn't.

class EditorNotebook(wx.Notebook):
     """A notebook containing a page for each editor."""

     def __init__(self, parent):
...

The __init__ method only takes a parent parameter. You are probably
looking at the next line where it calls wx.Notebook.__init__ and is
passing a style value to it.

Most correct - could these be added ?

I don't see why not. Send me a patch. (See the bottom of http://wxpython.org/codeguidelines.php)
