Here's the code:

wx.Frame.__init__(self, None, wx.ID_ANY)
panel = wx.Panel(self)
dbconn = self.connect_db()
dbconn.execute("select namefirst, namelast from master")
bb_players = []

for x in dbconn.fetchall():
bb_players.append(' '.join(x))

cb = PromptingComboBox(panel, 'Choose A Player',
choices=bb_players, style=wx.CB_SORT)

def connect_db(self):
connection = MySQLdb.connect('localhost', 'john', '*******',
'bbdatabank')
return connection.cursor()


The error seems to be in the for loop. I get this:

John,

I'd say you had a record with a null value for the namefirst field.
The join method don't like that.
