[PythonCE] wxPython, handling close events

[Matt S.]

I have a a wxPython application on the PPC 2003, Python 2.4, etc...

I can gracefully exit on win32 from the frame close button or any button
within the frame.  My trouble arises on the PPC because the frame widgets
(esp. close button) seem to not be associated with wx as much as the system
and don't clean up properly.  When I tap the close circle-X, the top level
window goes away but the Python CE window remains.  Then if I want to
delete/replace the program my request gets refused because the original file
is in use.  Furthermore, if I start up the file again it will run but after
loading up, the top level window is the old tlw.

I've been experimenting with binding close events to a pre-exit function.  I
want to either kick up a message dialog to make sure the user wants to exit
or just veto (event.Veto()) the frame level close button event.

self.top_window.Bind(wx.EVT_CLOSE, self.PreExit)

I've also fooled around with the following at the application level,

self.Bind(wx.EVT_QUERY_END_SESSION, self.OnExit)
self.Bind(wx.EVT_END_SESSION, self.OnExit)

I'm afraid the frame close button event I'm trying to handle is some sort of
hybrid.

I won't describe it here but I also have a few other issues:
1) when the PPC goes into sleep mode bad things happen to my app
2) I've tried to use PocketConsole and the kill utility to find a resulting
hung python program file but I don't see the file as a process.
Python.exegets listed as a process but I'm not sure I've successfully
ended it.  I
assume that if I do, the hung python program will get cleaned up.
3) Basic PPC os questions:
-If a python file that is being interpreted is not a process, what is it?
-Anyone know how to clean up one of the files when it's not ended properly?

If no one has a quick comment that breaks the dam, tomorrow I'll put
together a simple example of my problem and post it for interrogation.

Thanks!
Matt

Lastly, please let me know if you think this subject should be posted to a
wxPython list (and which one).  Maybe a wxPythonCE list would be helpful in
the near future?
