Nope. Does't work. Running Python 2.3.4 on Debian, Linux kernel 2.6. This is actually test code for a larger project...
# flash the selected wx.TextControl
for flasher in range(4): self.textField.SetBackgroundColour(255, 0, 0) time.sleep(0.8) self.textField.SetBackgroundColour(255, 255, 223) time.sleep(0.8)
Even when I add an explicit call to repaint the TextCtrl between each sleep, things appear to be 'queued' until after the loop is fnished. Very bizarre.
Not at all, but completely unrelated to your initial question.
You need to use a specific call before each sleep to tell wxPython to update the display, since the sleep doesn't give control back to the display subsystem. I think the call you need is app.Yield(), but the docs will confirm that.
