I am trying to follow this tutorial to quickly make simple graphical interfaces using wxPython and wxFormBuilder.
Using wxFormBuilder, I created a super simple frame with one vertical layout, one text edit control and a button that only clears the value of the text control. WxFormBuilder generated Python code, and I just added a few lines to clear the value of the text control when the button is clicked. Here is an image of a silly simple frame.

When I run this file in Python, the GUI clears the text that I type in the text control. When I click the close button, I see the following:
swig/python detected a memory leak of type 'wxPyXmlSubclassFactory *', no destructor found.
I tried the problem with Google, but found that Python is dynamic enough not to require destructors. I tried to add a function __del__, but I still have the same error message.
Ideas for getting rid of this error? I use:
- Python 2.7.6
- wxPython 3.0.0.0 for Python 2.7
- wxFormBuilder 3.4.2
- Windows 7 32-bit
Thank you so much in advance!
Here is the code I need if someone needs it:
import wx
import wx.xrc
class MyFrame1 ( wx.Frame ):
def __init__( self, parent ):
wx.Frame.__init__ ( self, parent, id = wx.ID_ANY, title = wx.EmptyString, pos = wx.DefaultPosition, size = wx.Size( 203,155 ), style = wx.DEFAULT_FRAME_STYLE|wx.TAB_TRAVERSAL )
self.SetSizeHintsSz( wx.DefaultSize, wx.DefaultSize )
bSizer1 = wx.BoxSizer( wx.VERTICAL )
self.edit = wx.TextCtrl( self, wx.ID_ANY, wx.EmptyString, wx.DefaultPosition, wx.DefaultSize, 0 )
bSizer1.Add( self.edit, 1, wx.ALL|wx.EXPAND, 5 )
self.clearButton = wx.Button( self, wx.ID_ANY, u"Clear", wx.DefaultPosition, wx.DefaultSize, 0 )
bSizer1.Add( self.clearButton, 1, wx.ALL|wx.EXPAND, 5 )
self.SetSizer( bSizer1 )
self.Layout()
self.Centre( wx.BOTH )
self.clearButton.Bind( wx.EVT_BUTTON, self.clearFunc )
def __del__( self ):
pass
def clearFunc( self, event ):
event.Skip()
class SimpleFrame(MyFrame1):
def __init__(self,parent):
MyFrame1.__init__(self,parent)
def clearFunc(self,event):
self.edit.SetValue("")
app = wx.App(False)
frame = SimpleFrame(None)
frame.Show(True)
app.MainLoop()
