i) Looking through the mails of this list I've found two uses of super
    a) self.super()
    b) super(MyDateTextBase, self).initProperties()

    A couple of questions :
            1) What is the difference? What's the different use of both?
        self.super() was a hack that was designed to make VFP developers a 
little more comfortable in Python. The second form is the correct way to call 
superclass behavior.

            2) in b), is it really necessary to use it? I thought 
initProperties() was a user's method.
        Generally, this should be strictly user-defined code, so it isn't 
necessary. It won't hurt, though.

ii) And now the original question. I want to send a list to a panel when 
instantiating it so that the panel will create a series of radio buttons one 
for each item of the list. That is :
        mypnl = pnlMyPanel(self, myListOfRadioButtons)
        mySizer.append(mypnl)

    So now I have a panel set with the appropriate radio buttons. So how do I 
intercept the parameter (myListOfRadioButtons) and then let the rest of the 
panel's initializing stuff get along? I was thinking of an __init__(self, 
myList, *args, **kw): and then call super(pnlMyPanel, self).__init__(self, 
*args, **kw). Would that be right? Is there a better way?
        Assuming that 'pnlMyPanel' is the *class* name, and not the instance 
name, yes, that would be correct. FWIW, class names are generally TitleCased in 
Python.


Thanks a lot Ed.
And yes, it is the class name. I know about PEP8, but I'm exercising my "best judgement" as PEP8 recommends in it's second topic. ;c)
