Wx3pa part Deux

New code drop. Fixes:

Less Code

Thanks Mark, Joe, Simon.

I agree with Matt. I simply wanted to see what wxPython could do.

What's the Matt thing referring to? Bad link!

Steven - fixed. Thanks!

It's cool to see another GUI aggregator, and it's in Python!

Can it handle encoding other than ISO-8859-1, say UTF-8?

Hi Sam:

I was trying out the python aggregator code tonight and ran into a little hickup:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "agg.py", line 89, in selectFeed
  if not self.list.GetColumn(0): self.list.InsertColumn(0, 'Title')
  File "/usr/lib/python2.2/site-packages/wxPython/controls2.py", line 645, in Ge
tColumn
  val = controls2c.wxListCtrl_GetColumn(self, *_args, **_kwargs)
wxPython.wxc.wxPyAssertionError: C++ assertion "wxAssertFailure" failed in /usr/
src/redhat/BUILD/wxPythonSrc-2.4.2.4/src/generic/listctrl.cpp(3834): invalid col
umn index in GetColumn

I found that this could be eliminated by a slight patch to the code:

89,90c89,90
<  if self.list.GetColumnCount() < 1  : self.list.InsertColumn(0, 'Title')
<
---

if not self.list.GetColumn(0): self.list.InsertColumn(0, 'Title')

Not sure whether this was due to python version, wx version, or what, but the fact that they asserted on GetColumn(0) seemed to suggest that this is not the right way to check for a null column list. I've never used wx before, so I'm really naive in this regard.

Thanks for the code. It works great and is easy to grok.
