pycrust crash upon attempt to view the wx namespace

wxPython Users

I am learning pycrust and WxPython. I found that after importing the
wx package I can try to expand the tree view for wx and the cursor
clocks for a couple of seconds and then pycrust crashes. I am using
Ubuntu Lucid Lynx and have opened a bug report:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/wxwidgets2.8/+bug/607213

I am asking here to see if anyone has a work-around for this crash.

I have also seen this already before.

You can help out by installing the -dbg version of the python and wxpython packages and running PyCrust with python-dbg. There may be an assert in the debug build that will give a clue as to what is causing the problem. If not then try running it from within gdb and do a backtrace after the crash happens.

Thanks, Robin. I installed the -dbg packages, python2.6-dbg and
python-wxgtk2.8-dbg, and don't see any change in the output to the
terminal:

$ python-dbg /usr/bin/pycrust
/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/wx-2.8-gtk2-unicode/wx/py/filling.py:
132: DeprecationWarning: GetWeek is deprecated, use GetWeekOfYear
instead
  d[key] = getattr(obj, key)
Segmentation fault

Are there any switches to activate more output?

I've performed a run in gdb per the instructions at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Backtrace
and have posted the backtrace in the bug report at
