I want my app to put up a setup window if it is not configured. When that window closes, it should up the regular window (which depends on the configuration).
Here is what I’m trying:
if options.configure:
app = SettingsApp(False)
app.MainLoop() # blocks until window closes
app.Destroy()
app = App(False)
app.MainLoop()
It basically works, but there is a weird bug. I redirect stdout to appear in the main window. But that doesn’t work if the setup window was used. The code sets up stdout like it should, but nothing gets redirected.
Is there App state left around that app.Destroy() wouldn’t clean up?
Is there a better way to do this?
Thanks,

P.S. Here is the redirect code. It pretends to be a file, but posts to a text window.
class RedirectText(object):
def init(self, control):
self.out = control
def write(self, string):
wx.PostEvent(self.out, AppendConsoleEvent(text=string))

I’m not sure why, but one App per python process is a good rule of thumb. So what I’d do is something like:
Create the app.
Create the main frame
Hide the main frame
Check for config
If config, Show() main frame
Else, create and show() config frame
App.MainLoop
Then have the config frame Show() the main frame when done.

Hi,
I would almost do the same thing as Chris, but I tend to be even more proactive. I would do something like the following:
Create the App
In the init for the frame (or even the panel class), check for the config. If no config, show a config dialog. Else, load config and load the frame/panel as appropriate.
app.MainLoop
I’ve used this approach with login dialogs and it works pretty well.
