Hi Michele,
I tried understanding how to avoid the metaclasses clashing, and I did read the
link you referred to below,
as well as the relevant O'Reilly cookbook chapter (Recipe 20.17. Solving
Metaclass Conflicts), but seems I do not understand the correct syntax to use,
as I either get
$ python -u ./failover_pickle_demo09.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "./failover_pickle_demo09.py", line 323, in <module>
class ListControlMeta(wx.Frame, CopyAndPaste):
TypeError: Error when calling the metaclass bases
metaclass conflict: the metaclass of a derived class must be a (non-strict)
subclass of the metaclasses of all its bases
or
$ python -u ./failover_pickle_demo09.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "./failover_pickle_demo09.py", line 322, in <module>
class ListControlMeta(type(wx.Frame), type(CopyAndPaste)):
TypeError: Error when calling the metaclass bases
multiple bases have instance lay-out conflict
And, mind you, all I wanted to do was inherit from two classes: wxPython's
wx.Frame and my CopyAndPaste.
Namely -
I have a subclass of wxPython's wx.Frame called ListControl.
I wanted to add copy (from copy-and-paste) capabilities to this ListControl
class.
I changed the header of this class to be:
class ListControl(wx.Frame, CopyAndPaste):
But, the addition of CopyAndPaste to the class parents got me into this
quagmire of metaclasses.
Bye,
Ron.

However, there is no module to download, and this is on purpose:
instead of blindly apply a "fix" one should understand what the conflict is:
then it is quite easy to solve it by hand. The recipe discussion explains it
all.
