Re: [Gnumed-devel] on patient selection, how are editareas notified?

To set the active patient:

my_pat = gmTmpPatient.gmCurrentPatient(aPKey = anID)

anID must exist
anID must be different from the previously active patient's ID

or else nothing happens.

An example on how to do this safely (I hope) is in
wxpython/gmPatientSelector.py->SetActivePatient() (which maybe
should be provided by gmTmpPatient as a convenience function).

If everything works out gmTmpPatient.gmCurrentPatient.__init__()
will send the appopriate intra-client signals.
