py2exe'd wxpython 3.0.0 wx.messagebox function crashes python

Hi all,
I've just discovered that in my py2exe'd wxpython 3.0.0 program, on windows vista, a call to wx.messagebox results in a python crash, replacing it with a normal wx.MessageDialog "solves the problem".
I don't have a clue as to why it happens, will report back later with more info.

I believe this has got to do with some wxWidgets3.0 issues on the compiled windows side of things.
It is pretty bad on XP ATM with seemingly less issues on Vista and 7.
I think we are all still waiting for a fix on this upstream with wxWidgets3.x.x

I get the same stuff, but I use pyInstaller. So I’m still using 2.9.5 until this gets fixed.
The phoenix snapshots are still borked, so it is just a waiting game ATM.

Hello,

the same for me as reported by you and metallicow:

wxPython 3.0.0.0 app/Python 2.5.6 frozen with py2exe/esky on Win8 (working fine there)

crashes on WinXP SP3 when using wx.FileSelector

Switching back to 2.9.5.0 solved the issue for me. Because I am also developing for hobby users with legacy hardware/legacy OS WinXP will continue to be a requirement for me.

For me everything has been solved by using the new 3.0.1 preview build, thanks everybody.

Hello,

I have the same problem with wxPython 3.0.0.0 : crashes on WinXP when using wx.ProgressDialog + py2exe or cx_freeze

For me everything has been solved by using the new 3.0.1 preview build,
thanks everybody.

Me too, it seems to be solved with 3.0.1.0b !

Thanks!

Thanks for the link, we had the same problem with py2exe and wx 3.0.0.

Do you know if there is a date planned when this will be in a proper release?

wxWidgets 3.0.1 should be coming soonish. Like usual wxPython 3.0.1 will be coming some time after that.
