Kicked out at a FileDialog constructor on MS Windows XP

Hi from France,

I am evaluating wxpython for a small project. I have tried to run the sample programm on http://wiki.wxpython.org/Getting%20Started (The one in Sizers section). I am being kicked out at

dlg = wx.FileDialog(self, “Choose a file”, self.dirname, “”, “.”, wx.OPEN) (I have added a print before and after the statement. I see before but not after. I have also tried wx.FD_OPEN but I have the same problem)

I am on a Windows XP machine running Python 2.7.6 and I have installed wx using the wxPython3.0-win32-py27 installer

Could someone help me diagnose the issue ?

Thanks and regards

Vincent

Do you have some way to see the error message / stack trace? That's
critical for programming--you will need to be running it in a way to do
that. I use an IDE that shows it. What if you run it from the command
line? Like:

C:\the folder your app lives in> python your_app.py

All print statements and error messages should be printed to the command
window, and you can see what the issue is. (Though I recommend an IDE).

Use this for windows. The installers on the main page for windows are all borked. They have compiled issues.

@Robin: Hopefully will get this updated soon.
