In wxPython, if I create a list of radio buttons and place the list initially, is it possible to change the contents in that list later?
For example, I have a panel that uses a boxSizer to place the widgets initially. One of those widgets is a list of radio buttons (I have also tried a normal radiobox). I would like to dynamically change the list based on variables from another class.
However, once the list is placed in the sizer, it's effectively "locked"; I can't just modify the list and have the changes appear. If I try re-adding the list to the sizer, it just gets put in the top left corner of the panel.
I'm sure I could hide the original list and manually place the new list in the same position but that feels like a kludge. I'm sure I'm making this harder than it is. I'm probably using the wrong widgets for this, much less the wrong approach, but I'm building this as a learning experience.

radio = wx.RadioButton(self, -1, item)
