Python wx class

[Mosabama]

Hello,

I want to define a class in python that uses the wx.timer, I dont want to use any GUI wx classes.

I have the following class:



class Data():

def __init__(self):

self.timer=wx.Timer(self)
self.Bind(wx.EVT_TIMER, self.getdata,self.timer)
self.timer.Start(1000)

def getdata(self,event):
"""This function will get data from mysql"""


but python returns an error:



File "dev.py", line 137, in __init__
self.timer=wx.Timer(self)
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/wx-2.8-gtk2-unicode/wx/_misc.py", line 1295, in __init__
_misc_.Timer_swiginit(self,_misc_.new_Timer(*args, **kwargs))
TypeError: in method 'new_Timer', expected argument 1 of type 'wxEvtHandler *'

Any help is appreciated,

You must inherit from wxEvtHandler or another widget that inherits from it..

Thanks,

the following code worked!, but my question is : is this the god way to do it:



class Data(wx.Timer):

def __init__(self):

wx.Timer.__init__(self)
self.timer=wx.Timer(self)
self.Bind(wx.EVT_TIMER, self.getdata,self.timer)
self.timer.Start(1000)

def getdata(self,event):
"""This function will get data from mysql"""

The self.timer variable is not needed. You can use self directly.
NOTE: Not tested!



class Data(wx.Timer):

def __init__(self):

wx.Timer.__init__(self)
self.Bind(wx.EVT_TIMER, self.getdata)
self.Start(1000)

def getdata(self,event):
"""This function will get data from mysql"""
