How to avoid sdl2.SDL_Event().window.windowID from always returning value 2?

Issue: I wrote the following test code to illustrate my issue. Whenever there is a sdl2 window event, sdl2.SDL_Event().window.windowID always returned a value of 2, which means the window is hidden and this is incorrect. The value 2 is also returned when the mouse pointer moves in and out of the window, when the window is moved, resized, minimized, maximized, ......

Question: How do I get it to work correctly?

Test code:

#!/bin/env python3.5

'''
test sdl2 event.window.windowID values

# Python3 modules
import ctypes

# PyPI module
import sdl2

        self.window = None             # SDL2 Window Object
        self.event =sdl2.SDL_Event()   # SDL2 Event object

        if sdl2.SDL_Init(sdl2.SDL_INIT_VIDEO) != 0:
            err = 'sdl2.SDL_Init failed: {}'.format(sdl2.SDL_GetError())
            print(err)

        flags = sdl2.SDL_WINDOW_RESIZABLE
        self.window = sdl2.SDL_CreateWindow(self.title.encode('utf-8'),
                                            sdl2.SDL_WINDOWPOS_UNDEFINED,

                                            ctypes.c_int(self.width),

                                            ctypes.c_uint32(flags))

You are confusing windowID and event. windowID is an identifier corresponding to the window associated with the event. event is the actual event and is a SDL_WindowEventID.

Replace event.window.windowID with event.window.event in your series of ifs.
