I'm just starting to use wxWidgets/wxPython and I've hit a snag. I
have 4 widgets arranged like this

StaticText TextCtrl
StaticText TextCtrl

And I want the StaticText to all be aligned to the left, and TextCtrl
aligned to the right. This is what I have now

vbox = wx.BoxSizer(wx.VERTICAL)

hbox = wx.BoxSizer(wx.HORIZONTAL)
vbox.Add(hbox)
hbox.Add(wx.StaticText(panel, label="Label1: "))
self._namebox = wx.TextCtrl(panel)
hbox.Add(self._namebox, flag=wx.ALIGN_RIGHT | wx.RIGHT |
wx.LEFT,
border=10)

hbox = wx.BoxSizer(wx.HORIZONTAL)
vbox.Add(hbox)
hbox.Add(wx.StaticText(panel, label="Longer Label2: "))
self._filenamebox = wx.TextCtrl(panel)
hbox.Add(self._filenamebox, flag=wx.ALIGN_RIGHT | wx.RIGHT |
wx.LEFT,
border=10)

But when I run this the TextLabel is still aligned to the left. What
am I doing wrong?

You are missing out the proportion flag from the Add commands, change
them all to read, (initially), Add(self.whatever,1, ALIGN_ ...

In addition to the other reply, notice that usually you'd use a 2 column
wxFlexGridSizer instead of 2 box sizers to make this layout to ensure that
the text controls are aligned with each other.
