wx.MessaegBox closes immediately with wxPy 2.9+

wxPython Users

I have an app which uses lots of wx.MessaegBox() calls.
On wxPy 2.8 the message box appears and stays there until OK or Cancel
is pressed.
On wxPy 2.9 & 3.0 the message box appears briefly then immediately closes.
Why does this happen and is it expected ?

Should I be using wx.MessageDialog or another wx function/class ?

test code:
    app = wx.App()
    ans = wx.MessageBox(caption="Test Caption", message="Test Message 1
2 3 ...")
    app.MainLoop()

Thanks, Brendan.

What Python version and Platform?

For me it works on Win8 with Python 2.7 and wxPython 2.9.5 and wxPython 3.0.1.dev76109 (Phoenix), in other words I see the box and have to press the "OK" button to close it.

The code appears to work on Win7 32bit with Python 2.7.5 and wxPython 2.9.5.0, I can test it against the versions on my laptop during my lunch break.

Forgot to mention that I am running on OS X
(10.8) with Python.org 2.7.7 installed.

Call the dialog after you call mainloop.
