wx.ProgressDialog is not returning a Tuple

[ejether]

Hi all,
I'm trying to get the
(continue, skip) = wx.ProgressDial og(...)
but I keep getting an error

I stole the code below from another post regarding the wx.ProgressDial og and it was reported as working there but it gives me the same error.

(before) count: 1, keepGoing: True, skip: False 
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "progdial.py", line 28, in <module>
    (keepGoing, skip) = dlg.Update(count, newtext)
TypeError: 'bool' object is not iterable

import wx
import time

max = 10
app = wx.PySimpleApp()
dlg = wx.ProgressDialog("Progress dialog example",
"variables to be shown here",
maximum = max,  
style = wx.PD_CAN_ABORT
| wx.PD_CAN_SKIP
#| wx.PD_APP_MODAL
| wx.PD_ELAPSED_TIME  
| wx.PD_ESTIMATED_TIME
| wx.PD_REMAINING_TIME
)

keepGoing = True
skip = False
count = 0

while keepGoing and count < max:
  count += 1
  wx.MilliSleep(1000)
  #time.sleep(1)
  newtext = "(before) count: %s, keepGoing: %s, skip: %s " % \
  (count, keepGoing, skip)
  print newtext
  (keepGoing, skip) = dlg.Update(count, newtext)
  newtext = "(after) count: %s, keepGoing: %s, skip: %s " % \
  (count, keepGoing, skip)
  print newtext

dlg.Destroy()

I am using Python 2.6.2 and python-wxgtk2.8 on Ubuntu 9.04

Any suggestions are greatly appreceiated, I haven't been able to google up anyone with the same problem.

Nevermind
I did a wxversion.selec t('2.8') and that seems to work.

How can I set that as the default?

[ejether]

Skip parameter always true

In the above code, the skip value is False only for the first iteration. It becomes True after the fist Update() call even if the Skip button has been pushed.

Has anyone else seen this problem?
Whats going on?
