need help displaying One Word at a time...

[Gary Kline]

Hi Guys,

Well, by trial/error, I'm learning....  what works and what doesn't;
and what's necessary and not.   But I'm stuck wx. StaticText in a loop.
I've got a two-word file: "Hello, world" and want to disply each for a
fraction of a sec.  




    def __init__(self, parent, log):
        wx.Panel.__init__(self, parent, -1)
        self.log = log

        f = open("2w.txt", "r")
        lines = f.readlines()

        l1 = wx.StaticText(self, -1, "wx.TextCtrl")
        for line in lines:
            print "DEBUG: line = %s" % (line);
            words = string.split(line)
            for word in words:
                print "DEBUG: word = %s" % (word);
                t1 = wx.TextCtrl(self, -1, word);
                time.sleep(0.99)
                wx.CallAfter(t1.SetInsertionPoint, 0)
                self.tc1 = t1
            space = 4
            sizer = wx.FlexGridSizer(cols=1, hgap=space, vgap=space)
            sizer.AddMany([ l1, t1, (0,0), ])
            border = wx.BoxSizer(wx.VERTICAL)
            self.SetSizer(border)
            self.SetAutoLayout(True)

        f.close()


I probably have some unnecessary code in here; but then this is my 
first attempt at python+X11.  I've googled and grep'd around to see
if there are any other wx python text function I could try.  Thought 
I'd ask the wizards first:)

thanks for any insights.
