Python programming error question

[Krinkleneck]

I am studying wxpython right now and it keeps throwing the error message

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:\Python27\dat thing.py", line 20, in <module>
frame=bucky(parent=None,id=-1)
File "C:\Python27\dat thing.py", line 11, in __init__
custom=wx.StaticText(panel, -1, "this is custom" (10,50))
TypeError: 'str' object is not callable

I went to the specified lines and found nothing wrong with them. this is what i have typed for it. Answer quickly please.


import wx

class bucky(wx.Frame):

def __init__(self,parent,id):
wx.Frame.__init__(self,parent,id,'Frame aka window', size=(300,200))
panel=wx.Panel(self)

wx.StaticText(panel, -1, "THIS IS SPARTAAAA", (10,10))

custom=wx.StaticText(panel, -1, "this is custom" (10,50))
custom.SetForegroundColour('white')
custom.SetBackgroundColour('blue')




if __name__=='__main__':
app=wx.PySimpleApp()
frame=bucky(parent=None,id=-1)
frame.Show()
app.MainLoop()

And you're asking here (and not on a board with "python" in the name) because....

Notes on choosing a forum, and other useful tips

Compare the arguments to StaticText in the following two lines:

wx.StaticText(panel, -1, "THIS IS SPARTAAAA", (10,10))

custom=wx.StaticText(panel, -1, "this is custom" (10,50))

Notice what's missing in the latter?
