class IdList:
    """
    Create a list of wx ids that can be reused.

    Ids for items need to be unique within their context.  In a dynamic
    application where the number of ids needed different each time the
    form is created, depending for example, on the number of items that
    need to be shown in the context menu, you cannot preallocate the
    ids that you are going to use for the form.  Instead, you can use
    an IdList, which will reuse ids from context to context, adding new
    ones if the new context requires more than a previous context.

    IdList is set up as an iterator, which returns new ids forever
    or until it runs out.  This makes it pretty useful for defining
    menus::

        class Form(wx.Dialog):
            _form_id_pool = IdList()
            def __init__(self):
                ...
                menu = wx.Menu()
                for item, wx_id in zip(menu_items, self._form_id_pool):
                    name, description, callback = item
                    menu.Append(wx_id, name, description)
                    wx.EVT_MENU(self, wx_id, callback)
                ...

    It is a little unusual to use an iterator outside of a loop, but it is
    supported. For example, when defining a form, your class definition
    might look something like::

        class Form(wx.Dialog):
            _form_id_pool = IdList()
            def __init__(self, pairs, ...):
                ids = iter(_form_id_pool)
                ...
                wx.StaticText(self, ids.next(), "Some key-value pairs")
                for name, value in pairs:
                    label = wx.StaticText(self, ids.next(), name)
                    input = wx.TextCtrl(self, ids.next(), value=str(value))
                    ...
                ...

    If the dialog is really dynamic, and not defined all in one place, then
    save the id list iterator as *self._ids = iter(_form_id_pool)* in the
    constructor.

    The wx documentation is not clear on whether ids need to be unique.
    Clearly different dialogs can use the same ids, as this is done for the
    standard button ids such as wx.ID_HELP.  Presumably each widget on the
    form needs its own id, but whether these ids can match the ids of menu
    items is not indicated, or whether different submenus need their own
    ids.  Using different id lists for menu items and widgets is safest,
    but probably not necessary.  And what about notebook tabs.  Do the
    ids need to be unique across all tabs?
