Chicago Cubs - a standalone model class

[Philip Ellis]

Hi chaps
Has anyone made listing 5.10 work in Robin Dunn "the software
craftsman"'s book wxPython in Action?

This example seems to be a more useful implementation than the
previous examples, and so I had a go at making it work. The key seems
to be creating a list of entries for the Chicago Cubs. So I stuck the
little 2-dimensional table (position, firstname, lastname) as the
return of a function called GetCubs and wrote this (based on listing
5.7):

class SimpleGrid(wx.grid.Grid):
def __init__(self, parent):
wx.grid.Grid.__init__(self, parent, -1)
team=GetCubs()
entries=[LineupEntry(man[0],man[1],man[2]) for man in team]
self.SetTable(LineupTable, entries)

Then I found that the thing doesn't run and my error messages are
referencing line 1221 in some far flung corner of wx... So I have no
clue how to start unpicking this. Two questions:
- If you have done this example how did you make it work?
- Is there a general technique for dealing with these error messages
from out there in line 1221 of settable and so on.
Kind regards
Phil Ellis

Hi Phil,

Can you post the full traceback and attach the code? I'm sure it's
something simple.

You probably want to do this instead:

self.SetTable( LineupTable(entries) )

Sorry to bother anyone that read this - I should have written
self.setTable(LineupTable(entries)) in the last line. Got confused.
It seems to work now.
Kind regards
