TypeError when using SetSizer()

Question

I'm creating a panel for a notebook, and I need to add a sizer. However, when I run my code:

class HomePanel(wx.Panel):

    def __init__(self, parent):
        wx.Panel.__init__(self, parent=parent)

        [...Widget Code...]

        self.verticalsizer = wx.BoxSizer(wx.VERTICAL)
        self.verticalsizer.AddStretchSpacer(prop=1)

        self.verticalsizer.Add(self.text, flag=wx.ALIGN_CENTER | wx.BOTTOM, border=30)
        self.verticalsizer.Add(self.text1, flag=wx.ALIGN_CENTER | wx.BOTTOM, border=20)

        self.verticalsizer.AddStretchSpacer(prop=1)

        HomePanel.SetSizer(self.verticalsizer)
        HomePanel.Layout()

I get a typeerror regarding line the SetSizer():

TypeError: unbound method SetSizer() must be called with HomePanel instance as first argument (got BoxSizer instance instead)

I'm not sure what else I could assign the SetSizer() to, but since this won't work either I'm stuck. Is there a way to get around this or do it better?

Answer 1

Instead of:

        HomePanel.SetSizer(self.verticalsizer)
        HomePanel.Layout()

Use self:

        self.SetSizer(self.verticalsizer)
        self.Layout()
