Thank you, this is much closer to where I need to be...

The issue is (and this is the part that you don't know, because I
didn't tell you!) is that I later need to call methods on
"self.checkbox1", for instance:

self.checkbox1.GetValue()

to determine if the box is checked or not.

I should have included that piece in the initial problem description;
my apologies.


Then translate the above to

self.checkboxes[1].GetValue()

The point of all this is the following: If you have a variable (even if not changing often, or being globally configured) number of objects, it's a good idea to keep them around in a list.

Even if you need specific parameters for the checkboxes, it would most probably be better to do it like this

checkbox_args = [
  ("name", parameter, ...),
  ("other_name", other_parameter, ...),
]

for parameters in checkbox_args:
   checkboxes.append(Checbbox(*parameters))


If you know on the other hand that you will have 10 checkboxes which have all a defined meaning, it might be better to use a meaningful name for them, like:


self.create_backup = Checkbox(...)
self.perform_authorization = Checkbox(...)
