I think what dgovil is suggesting, is to make use of the internal state of
your class, which is being used to represent your UI and contains your
button callbacks:
class MyInterface(object):
def __init__(self):
self.__currentRig = {}
def button1_clicked(self):
results = getResults()
self.__currentRig['first_part'] = results
def button2_clicked(self):
results = getOtherResults()
previewStuff = self.__currentRig['first_part']
newResults = doMore(results, newResults)
self.__currentRig['second_part'] = newResults
def newRig(self):
self.__currentRig = {}
