how to dynamically update multiple wxpython static text?

Question

I want to dynamically update multiple static texts as I only know how to update only one static text.

Below is my code:

import os
import time
import datetime

current_time = datetime.datetime.strftime(datetime.datetime.now(), '%d-  %m-%Y %H:%M:%S')
try:
    import wx
except ImportError:
    raise ImportError, "The wxPython module is required to run this   program."

class simpleapp_wx(wx.Frame):
    def __init__(self,parent,id,title):
        wx.Frame.__init__(self,parent,id,title, size =(500,300))
        self.SetBackgroundColour(wx.BLUE)
        self.parent = parent
        self.initialize()

    def initialize(self):
        sizer = wx.GridBagSizer()
        font = wx.Font(20, wx.DECORATIVE, wx.ITALIC, wx.NORMAL)
        self.SetFont(font)


        self.label = wx.StaticText(self,-1,label=u'Time Updated - 1:  {}'.format(current_time))
        self.label.SetBackgroundColour(wx.BLUE)
        self.label.SetForegroundColour(wx.WHITE)
        sizer.Add(self.label, (4,0),(1,5),wx.EXPAND)
        self.on_timer()

        self.SetSizer(sizer)
        self.Show(True)

    def on_timer(self):
        current_time =  datetime.datetime.strftime(datetime.datetime.now(), '%d-%m-%Y %H:%M:%S')
        self.label.SetLabel(label=u'Time Updated -1 : {}'.format(current_time))
        wx.CallLater(1000, self.on_timer)

if __name__ == "__main__":
    app = wx.App()
    frame = simpleapp_wx(None,-1,'Rain Sensor')
    app.MainLoop()

I have tried to add another static text in the same class and create another CallLater, but it only update the last static text...

The code below works well on my machine, Win7 x86, wxPython 3.0.2

import os
import time
import datetime

current_time = datetime.datetime.strftime(datetime.datetime.now(), '%d-  %m-%Y %H:%M:%S')
try:
    import wx
except ImportError:
    raise ImportError, "The wxPython module is required to run this   program."

class simpleapp_wx(wx.Frame):
    def __init__(self, parent, id, title):
        wx.Frame.__init__(self, parent, id, title, size=(500, 300))
        self.SetBackgroundColour(wx.BLUE)
        self.parent = parent
        self.initialize()

    def initialize(self):
        sizer = wx.GridBagSizer()
        font = wx.Font(20, wx.DECORATIVE, wx.ITALIC, wx.NORMAL)
        self.SetFont(font)

        self.label = wx.StaticText(self, -1, label=u'Time Updated - 1:  {}'.format(current_time))
        self.label2 = wx.StaticText(self, -1, label=u'Time Updated - 2:  {}'.format(current_time))
        self.label.SetBackgroundColour(wx.BLUE)
        self.label.SetForegroundColour(wx.WHITE)
        self.label.SetBackgroundColour(wx.BLUE)
        self.label2.SetForegroundColour(wx.WHITE)
        sizer.Add(self.label, (4, 0), (1, 5), wx.EXPAND)
        sizer.Add(self.label2, (5, 0), (1, 5), wx.EXPAND)
        self.on_timer()
        self.on_timer2()

        self.SetSizer(sizer)
        self.Show(True)

    def on_timer(self):
        current_time = datetime.datetime.strftime(datetime.datetime.now(), '%d-%m-%Y %H:%M:%S')
        self.label.SetLabel(label=u'Time Updated -1 : {}'.format(current_time))
        wx.CallLater(1000, self.on_timer)

    def on_timer2(self):
        current_time = datetime.datetime.strftime(datetime.datetime.now(), '%d-%m-%Y %H:%M:%S')
        self.label2.SetLabel(label=u'Time Updated -2 : {}'.format(current_time))
        wx.CallLater(1000, self.on_timer2)

if __name__ == "__main__":
    app = wx.App()
    frame = simpleapp_wx(None, -1, 'Rain Sensor')
    app.MainLoop()

I have just created another label label2, put it in the sizer and created another on_timer2 method and called with wx.CallLater
