I using Tix in python and am having problems with the HList. Noone in the python forums can answer my questions and the documentation I can find does not help either. I have multiple HLists all tied to a database some of which are changing as the program runs. The biggest issue I am having is that I have to delete all the entries in the list each time I poll the database. I would like to check each entry from the database with the HList and add it if it does not exists. I would also like to sort by a column, print the entries in a csv file and determine if an item is in the list. All of these could be solved if I could just figure out a way to get the entry and path using the entry id but I cannot find the function to do so. Is there a HList method to get a entry path using the entry id? Thanks
