OK, I'm stumped: re the second, "wxString text" argument to the AddPage
method, in which (sub-)attribute of the added page does said argument get
stored? Also, does the user have to keep track of the added pages, or are
there some (would-be) useful "FindPageBy" methods I'm not seeing? Thanks!

theNotebook.GetPageText()

There is the GetChildren method inherited from wx.Window, and the GetPage method inherited from wx.BookCtrlBase.

Excellent, thanks!

There is the GetChildren method inherited from wx.Window, and the
GetPage method inherited from wx.BookCtrlBase.

The former just returns a list of windows (the pages' contents), and the
latter requires that you know the number of the page you want, so you either
have to maintain a map between page numbers and (some key to) their
contents, or you have to implement your own search algorithm. (I was hoping
the latter might already exist, e.g., a FindPageByText method strikes me as
a rather natural thing for this object to have...) Do you guys use the
"pull-request" model for requesting feature additions?

Here's a version if anyone wants to add it:

    def FindPageByText(self, text):
        N = self.GetPageCount()
        i = 0
        while i < N:
            if self.GetPageText(i).strip() == text.strip():
                return self.GetPage(i)
            else:
                i += 1
        return None

YW,

Ooops, forgot to check text input for the strip attribute:

    def FindPageByText(self, text):
        if hasattr(text, 'strip'):
            N = self.GetPageCount()
            i = 0
            while i < N:
                if self.GetPageText(i).strip() == text.strip():
                    return self.GetPage(i)
                else:
                    i += 1
        return None

Sorry 'bout that.
