[wxPython-users] Auto-pulsing wxProgressDialog?

I gave it a shot but the same thing happens. I just don't understand!
I replaced the database call with a sleep call just to simplify even
more but still no pulsing occurs.

Let me post a little code and maybe it will be clear what I am doing
wrong. onPack in the controller is what is called first. It tells the
view to show the dialog, which is supposed to start a timer but it
never pulses and 12 never gets printed.

in the controller:
    def onPack(self, event=None):
		self.view.showPackDialog()
                
            import time, wx.lib.delayedresult as delayedresult
            delayedresult.startWorker(self.onPackDone, lambda:time.sleep(5))
            
    def onPackDone(self, result):
        	self.view.closePackDialog()


in the view:
    def showPackDialog(self):
        self.dlg = wx.ProgressDialog("Packing Database", "Packing routines in the ZopeDB", parent=self)
        self.t = wx.Timer(self)
        self.t.Bind(wx.EVT_TIMER, self.onPackTimer)
        self.t.Start(10)
        
    def onPackTimer(self, e):
        print 12 #debug
        self.dlg.Pulse()
        
    def closePackDialog(self):
        self.t.Stop()
        self.dlg.Destroy()

Thanks for your help so far, it is greatly appreciated. Hopefully the
code is clean and easy to interpret (no pun intended).
