What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
6 wxPython windows produced

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

just loaded .17 on XPSP3

Please provide any additional information below.

Just had this message, after getting the message attached.

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "currentcost.py", line 666, in onConnect
  File "currentcost.py", line 1404, in getDataFromCurrentCostMeter
AttributeError: 'dict' object has no attribute 'startswith'

hope it helps :-)

Thought I'd add this graph, it shows current cost usiong 100% of one of my CPU 
cores
every 6secs? on reading live data. Might be connected with crashes perhaps?
Regards

here's a graph when the app first starts live graphing as you can see peak load 
on
cpu is only 10%

When an update is received from a CurrentCost meter, the live graph is redrawn

See
<http://code.google.com/p/currentcostgui/source/browse/trunk/currentcostlivedata
.py?r=140#288>

The graphs are redrawn (see
<http://code.google.com/p/currentcostgui/source/browse/trunk/currentcostlivedata
.py?r=140#102>)
using plot_date (see
<http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/api/axes_api.html?highlight=plot_date#matplot
lib.axes.Axes.plot_date>),
giving it the complete set of live data for plotting.

I'm not sure how this works, internally - but if you're seeing significantly
increasing CPU usage over time, I'm thinking it might not be adding a new single
point, but perhaps redrawing the whole graph from scratch. In which case, the 
larger
the data set gets each time, the bigger the task involved in redrawing the live 
graph. 

I'll have a look and see if there is a more efficient approach for realtime 
graphing
in matplotlib, other than plot_date followed by draw.

(Any suggestions for how to do this would be very welcome - either posted here 
as a
comment, or submitted as a code change!)
