Re: Newbie wxPython questions.

Instead of self.Close(), try parent.Close() The self.Close() is closing self, which is a panel. The panel's parent is the frame. This will let you keep the button on the frame, which eliminates the spacing problem. I'm not gonna test it, cuz the darn lines wrap and make it difficult to copy you

Re: Newbie wxPython questions.

Oh, by the way... in your frame's constructor (the Frame1.__init__), you'll have to make "parent" a member variable of the class so that OnCloseMe has access to it. I.e., in the __init__ add self.FrameParent = parent Then in OnCloseMe do: self.FrameParent.Close() -- http://mail.python.org/mailm

Depends iff you are using Linux, print cat /proc/cpuinfo and look for the line "cpu ...Hz: ...". Parsing that would be straightforward. Keep in mind, the time.time() function reports the "wall clock" time, which usually has up to a millisecond resolution, regardless of the CPU speed.

Your list probably contains several references to the same object, instead of several different objects. This happens often when you use a technique like: list = [ object ] * 100 ..because although this does make copies when "object" is an integer, it just makes references in other cases. [E
