I'm trying to get a SQLite3 DB to populate a wx.ListCrtl. I can get it to print to stdout/stderr without any problem. I just can't seem to figure out how to display the data in the DataWindow/DataList? I'm still learning programing/python so any advice would be appreciated. After two days of trying to get it working, I've decided to consult the gurus.

database.py

import os
import sqlite3

class Database(object):
    
    def __init__(self, db_file="data/data.sqlite"):
        database_allready_exists = os.path.exists(db_file)
        self.db = sqlite3.connect(db_file)
        if not database_allready_exists:
            self.setupDefaultData()
            
    def select(self,sql):
        cursor = self.db.cursor()
        cursor.execute(sql)
        records = cursor.fetchall()
        cursor.close
        return records
    
    def insert(self,sql):
        newID = 0
        cursor = self.db.cursor()
        cursor.execute(sql)
        newID = cursor.lastrowid
        self.db.commit()
        cursor.close()
        return newID
    
    def save(self,sql):
        cursor = self.db.cursor()
        cursor.execute(sql)
        self.db.commit()
        cursor.close()
        
    def setupDefaultData(self):
        pass

Not tested but I have problem with your OnData Methods
Please try this and see what it gives.

def onData(self, event):
        DataWindow(self)
        db = Database()
        sql = "SELECT rowid, address, subnet, gateway FROM pod1"
        records = db.select(sql)
        count = 0
        for v in records:
            index = DataList.InsertStringItem(sys.maxint, str(count + 1))
            DataList.SetStringItem(index, 1, v[0])
            DataList.SetStringItem(index, 2, v[1])
            DataList.SetStringItem(index, 3, v[2])
            count += 1

This should help you a lot in your work. All the best
