Be careful with this, render() gets called when the widget is actually rendering, so it's possible that the previous tool tip has been used to calculate how much space it needs on the screen. If you swap in a tool-tip that takes more rows or less rows you could cause the render to fail. With the methods I describe you can still store your tool-tips on the widgets themselves, just just a standard attribute name on the widget and getattr(), you don't need to handle widget positions. _______________________________________________ Urwid mailing list [email protected] http://lists.excess.org/mailman/listinfo/urwid
