wx.Checkbox - Associate Data with a Checkbox

[madtowneast]

I have been trying to figure out how to associate data with the event of checkbox being checked. The problem is that my data is stuck in a 5 keys deep dictionary (dict{dict{dict{dict{dict{}}}}}). I have tried crawling through the parents and getting their labels since they are created from the keys, but havent had much luck because of how I nested the notebooks. The code looks a follows:

#!/usr/bin/env python
import os
import sys
import datetime
import numpy as np
from readmonifile import MonitorFile
from sortmonifile import sort
import wx

class NestedPanelOne(wx.Panel):
    #----------------------------------------------------------------------
    # First notebook that creates the tab to select the component number
    #----------------------------------------------------------------------
    def __init__(self, parent, label, data):

        wx.Panel.__init__(self, parent=parent, id=wx.ID_ANY)

        sizer = wx.BoxSizer(wx.VERTICAL)

        #Loop creating the tabs according to the component name
        nestedNotebook = wx.Notebook(self, wx.ID_ANY)
        for slabel in sorted(data[label].keys()):
            tab = NestedPanelTwo(nestedNotebook, label, slabel, data)
            nestedNotebook.AddPage(tab,slabel)


        sizer = wx.BoxSizer(wx.VERTICAL)
        sizer.Add(nestedNotebook, 1, wx.ALL|wx.EXPAND, 5)
        self.SetSizer(sizer)

class NestedPanelTwo(wx.Panel):
    #------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    # Second notebook that creates the tab to select the main monitoring variables 
    #------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    def __init__(self, parent, label, slabel, data):

        wx.Panel.__init__(self, parent=parent, id=wx.ID_ANY)

        sizer = wx.BoxSizer(wx.VERTICAL)

        nestedNotebook = wx.Notebook(self, wx.ID_ANY)

        for sslabel in sorted(data[label][slabel].keys()):
            tab = NestedPanelThree(nestedNotebook, label, slabel, sslabel, data)
            nestedNotebook.AddPage(tab, sslabel)

        sizer.Add(nestedNotebook, 1, wx.ALL|wx.EXPAND, 5)

The NestedPanelThree class is where I associate the checkboxes with the data and tried to crawl up through the panels.

Is there a way to associate the checkbox with data, such that if the checkbox is checked, the keys that were being used to create it are retrieved? Or is there a way to update the values of chboxvaldict[label][slabel][sslabel][ssslabel] without having to loop through all the keys?

Thanks a bunch in advance

There are not any answers presumably because no one uses 5 nested dictionaries. State what you are trying to do and why a 5-deep dictionary is necessary, along with a simple example, 184 lines of code is more than someone wants to wade through for a question like this, so something like

#10 or so dictionary entries is enough
sample_dictionary={"a":{"b":{"c":{"d":{"e":}}}}}
#
# create one panel and menu
class NestedPanelOne(wx.Panel):
    #----------------------------------------------------------------------
    # First notebook that creates the tab to select the component number
    #----------------------------------------------------------------------
    def __init__(self, parent, label, data):
        wx.Panel.__init__(self, parent=parent, id=wx.ID_ANY)
#
# and then the function called when the menu is clicked

Simply put, it is one way to organize the data in such a way that I can use the keys to dynamically create pages in my notebooks and because the data structure within the files i am trying to parse can have 5 different associations (main component, main component number, monitored component name, monitored variables, timestamp). With the dictionary i can easily get to the necessary information with a couple for loops and dont have to try to keep track of things in lists or some other data structure.

I am trying to basically create a plotting routine for files for the variables within them. So that if you check box A, B and C, it will plot A vs. Time, B vs. Time, C vs. Time, but given the large number of unique identifiers this becomes a little cumbersome

[woooee]

Is there a reason you are not storing the data in an in-memory SQLite database where you can easily select ("main component"=x and "main component number"=y and "timestamp"=z) or ("monitored component name"=a and "monitored variables"=b) etc.? An example usage from somewhere on the internet:
