Thanks All,
I didn't make the super() call (java terminology)
to the base class.

this is the only python group (en) on giganews, my first search
 no wx or qt.
gmane.com.python.wxpython is not found
gmane.org came up and crashed firefox 3 times searching for python.
I'll try the wxpython forrum for x stuff, but you spoiled me with prompt
and accurate responses.

I'm trying to think, but nothing's happening
