I have been hitting a dead end with this program. I am trying to build a class that will let me control the BIP's of a button when it is in use. so far this is what i have (see following.) It keeps running this weird error TypeError: 'module' object is not callable - I, coming from C++ and C# (for some reason the #include... is so much easier) , have no idea what that means, Google is of no help so... I know I need some real help with sintax and such - anything woudl be helpful.

Note: The base code found here was used to create a skeleton for this 'custom button class'

Custom Button

import wx
from wxPython.wx import *

class Custom_Button(wx.PyControl):

                                    # The BMP's
# AM I DOING THIS RIGHT? - I am trying to get empty 'global' 
# variables within the class
    Mouse_over_bmp = None #wxEmptyBitmap(1,1,1)   # When the mouse is over
    Norm_bmp = None #wxEmptyBitmap(1,1,1)         # The normal BMP
    Push_bmp = None #wxEmptyBitmap(1,1,1)         # The down BMP

    Pos_bmp = wx.Point(0,0)         # The posisition of the button

    def __init__(self, parent, NORM_BMP, PUSH_BMP, MOUSE_OVER_BMP,
                 pos, size, text="", id=-1, **kwargs):
        wx.PyControl.__init__(self,parent, id, **kwargs)

# The conversions, hereafter, were to solve another but. I don't know if it is 
# necessary to do this since the source being given to the class (in this case)
# is a BMP - is there a better way to prevent an error that i have not
# stumbled accost? 

        # Set the BMP's to the ones given in the constructor
        self.Mouse_over_bmp = wx.Bitmap(wx.Image(MOUSE_OVER_BMP, wx.BITMAP_TYPE_ANY).ConvertToBitmap())
        self.Norm_bmp = wx.Bitmap(wx.Image(NORM_BMP, wx.BITMAP_TYPE_ANY).ConvertToBitmap())
        self.Push_bmp = wx.Bitmap(wx.Image(PUSH_BMP, wx.BITMAP_TYPE_ANY).ConvertToBitmap())
        self.Pos_bmp = self.pos

        self.Bind(wx.EVT_LEFT_DOWN, self._onMouseDown)
        self.Bind(wx.EVT_LEFT_UP, self._onMouseUp)

        event.SetInt(0)
        event.SetEventObject(self)
        self.GetEventHandler().ProcessEvent(event)

    def _onEraseBackground(self,event):
        # reduce flicker
        pass

    def _onPaint(self, event):
        dc = wx.BufferedPaintDC(self)
        dc.SetFont(self.GetFont())
        dc.SetBackground(wx.Brush(self.GetBackgroundColour()))
        dc.Clear()
        dc.DrawBitmap(self.Norm_bmp)

        # draw whatever you want to draw
        # draw glossy bitmaps e.g. dc.DrawBitmap
        if self._mouseIn:   # If the Mouse is over the button
            dc.DrawBitmap(self, self.Mouse_over_bmp, self.Pos_bmp, useMask=False)
        if self._mouseDown: # If the Mouse clicks the button
            dc.DrawBitmap(self, self.Push_bmp, self.Pos_bmp, useMask=False)

Errors (and traceback)

I have never been able to get this to go away whenever using wxPython any help?

I have tried removing the "wx.Point(200,200), wx.Size(300,100))" just to have the error move up to the line above. Have I declared it right? help?
