How do I layout a 3 pane window using wxPython?

Question

I am trying to find a simple way to layout a 3 pane window using wxPython.

I want to have a tree list in the left pane, then have a right pane that is split into two - with an edit component in the top part and a grid component in the bottom part.

Something along the lines of:

--------------------------------------
|             |                      |
|             |        Edit          |
|  Tree       |        Control       |
|  Control    |                      |
|             |----------------------|
|             |                      |
|             |        Grid          |
|             |                      |
--------------------------------------

I would like the window to be re-sizable and give the user the ability to change the (relative) size of each of the components within the windows by dragging the borders.

I figure that I need some combination of sizers and/or splitter-window components but can't find a decent example of this kind of window in the documentation or on the web.

This is a very simple layout using wx.aui and three panels. I guess you can easily adapt it to suit your needs.

Orjanp...

import wx
import wx.aui

class MyFrame(wx.Frame):
    def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
        wx.Frame.__init__(self, *args, **kwargs)

        self.mgr = wx.aui.AuiManager(self)

        leftpanel = wx.Panel(self, -1, size = (200, 150))
        rightpanel = wx.Panel(self, -1, size = (200, 150))
        bottompanel = wx.Panel(self, -1, size = (200, 150))

        self.mgr.AddPane(leftpanel, wx.aui.AuiPaneInfo().Bottom())
        self.mgr.AddPane(rightpanel, wx.aui.AuiPaneInfo().Left().Layer(1))
        self.mgr.AddPane(bottompanel, wx.aui.AuiPaneInfo().Center().Layer(2))

        self.mgr.Update()


class MyApp(wx.App):
    def OnInit(self):
        frame = MyFrame(None, -1, '07_wxaui.py')
        frame.Show()
        self.SetTopWindow(frame)
        return 1

if __name__ == "__main__":
    app = MyApp(0)
    app.MainLoop()
