i cant run it that way.  i tried using the python prompt in terminal but got nothing.  but here is all the code relevant to this issue:
#all the imports
import sys
import posixpath
import time
from time import strftime
from datetime import datetime
import os
import wx
import cPickle as pickle
import gnuradio.gr.gr_threading as _threading


#the function that writes the time values
 def update(self, field_values):
        
        now = datetime.now()
        
        #logger ---------------
        #  new line to write on
        self.logfile.write('\n')
        #  write date, time, and seconds from the epoch
        self.logfile.write('%s\t'%(strftime("%Y-%m-%d",)))
        self.logfile.write('%s\t'%(now.strftime("%H:%M:%S",)))
        self.logfile.write('%s\t'%(time.time()))
        # list to store dictionary keys in tis order
        keys = ["duid", "nac",  "tgid", "source", "algid", "kid"]
        # loop through the keys in the right order
        for k in keys:
            #  get the value of the current key
            f = field_values.get(k, None)            
            # if data unit has value...
            if f:
                #  output the value with trailing tab
                self.logfile.write('%s\t'%(str(f)))  
            # if data unit doesnt have this value print a tab
            else:
                self.logfile.write('\t')
        #end logger ----------------

        #if the field 'duid' == 'hdu', then clear fields
        if field_values['duid'] == 'hdu':
            self.clear()
        elif field_values['duid'] == 'ldu1':
            self.clear()
        elif field_values['duid'] == 'ldu2':
            self.clear()
        #elif field_values['duid'] == 'tdu':
         #   self.clear()
        #loop through all TextCtrl fields storing the key/value pairs in k, v
        for k,v in self.fields.items():        
            # get the dict value for this TextCtrl
            f = field_values.get(k, None)            
            # if the value is empty then set the new value
            if f:
                v.SetValue(f)
