[wxPython] [Q] comparison between two wxShape objects

Hi, all.
I'd like to get some help on how to compare two wxShape objects.
I was trying to implement to draw a line between two wxRectangleShape
objects and I have a problem in checking two wxRectangleShape are identical.
I don't want to draw anything in case of identical wxRectangleShapes.
I expected I could check identity with if statement like below code segment.
    if conceptWindow.fromConcept == shape:
        pass
Where, conceptWindow.fromConcept is the first wxRectangleShape object
created in the previous mouse click and shape is the second wxRectangleShape
being clicked.
I found that these two wxRectangleShape objects has the same memory
allocation. Here is the result of "print conceptWindow.fromConcept and print
shape" statements.
    <C wxPyRectangleShape instance at _dcc030_wxPyRectangleShape_p>
    <C wxPyRectangleShape instance at _dcc030_wxPyRectangleShape_p>

But wxPython doesn't consider these two wxRectangleShape objects identical.
wxPython considers them different objects. Is there any convenient way of
comparing wxShape objects?

Since the if statement didn't work, I tried to compare the text attached to
each wxRectangleShape object. But I found there is no getText() method on
the wxShape class. I only found AddText() and RemoveText(). Is there any way
to read the attached text on the wxShape object?

TIA.

Compare their "this" attributes. That is where the "swigified pointer" is
stored, it is a string that holds the C++ pointer and the type of object
pointed to.
