I don't see a class in your code.

I haven't had too many problems with wxPython programs on Vista, but the OS has screwed me up in many other ways. Whenever I can I use an older XP machine. Maybe you can relax the super childish default security scheme they use to a lower level?

Sometimes a test print will help you visualize what is going on: [code=python]def insertion_sort(qq): for j in range(1, len(qq)): key = qq[j] i = j - 1 while (i >=0) and (qq[i] > key): qq[i+1] = qq[i] i = i - 1 qq[i+1] = key # test print ... print …

One more way for the fun of it: [code=python]import random let = [ 'a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'e', 'f', 'g' ] random.shuffle(let) while len(let): print let.pop() [/code]

You can use the module inspect: [code=python]import inspect class C1(object): def __init__(self): print "C1" def f1(self): print "f1" pass def f2(self): print "f2" pass inst1 = C1() try: print inspect.ismethod(inst1.f1) # True print inspect.ismethod(inst1.f2) # True print inspect.ismethod(inst1.f3) # 'C1' object has no attribute 'f3' except AttributeError, error: print error …

Here is another way you can skin it: [code=python]def sum_cube(n, sum=0): if n > 0: x = n**3 return sum_cube(n-1, sum+x) else: return sum print sum_cube(5) # 225 [/code]

A class should only group functions together that belong together. I would also avoid globals, they are devils as your program grows. A class handles globals within the class using self.

I have watched Star Trek "The Motion Picture" a few times. There the living thing is the spaceship itself, hard to miss since it is about the size of Texas. Interesting concept. Something like this might be possible.
