possible to have more than one timer?

Try something like:
self.pollTimer = wx.PyTimer(self.poll)
self.pollTimer.Start(500, wx.TIMER_CONTINUOUS)

I'm running into an interesting problem with timers. I'm trying to have two, and haven't been
successful.

For example:

ID_TIMER = wx.NewId()
print ID_TIMER
self.timer1 = wx.Timer(self)
self.Bind(wx.EVT_TIMER, self.check_timeout, self.timer1)
self.timer1.Start(500) # every half second

ID_TIMER = wx.NewId()
self.timer2 = wx.Timer(self)
self.Bind(wx.EVT_TIMER, rebuildAllSmallPics(), self.timer2)
self.timer2.Start(30000) # every 10 minutes

In the above example, only the second timer is triggered. My theory is that since both timers are
bound to the wx.EVT_TIMER event, only the second one is bound.

Is there some trick to using multiple simultaneous wx.Timers?

Ooops.

For anyone else coming down this path, lose the () in the function call:

self.timer2 = wx.PyTimer( rebuildAllSmallPics)
self.timer2.Start(30000, wx.TIMER_CONTINUOUS)
