I come across some cases, where I need to hook a progress bar from WX to my current running python project/script to indicate the current process progress. Some how if you use MainLoop() in child thread will cause the WX session hang and EVT handle will failed. After some study, found that WXAPP class instance and MainLoop have to same namespace. I manage to redesign it and make it work now. Just mail/vote me, if you feel this is useful for your project. E-Mail : cheengshuchin@gmail.com

This code seems work in windows, but I haven’t try it in Linux or Mac server. Hope someone can help me to verify on this. This code can modify and extend to use others dialog/WXAPP classes (e.g. TextBox, File/Directory Dialogs) as well. Please enjoy it. Please refer this as well: http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Cookbook/Python/Recipe/203471

problems on Linux. I did test this under Ubuntu Linux. The recipe runs, but does create an exception on exiting, probably due to the way you close the app:

$ python pbardemo.py
True
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "pbardemo.py", line 51, in pbrm
    self.close(None)
  File "pbardemo.py", line 57, in close
