wxGenericDirCtrl problem on the Mac?

wxPython Users

I'm writing a cross-platform ap and am running into trouble using the
wxGenericDirCtrl on Mac OS-X.

At it's simplest, the line:

GDC = wxGenericDirCtrl(self, -1, pos=(10,20), size=(200, 350),
style=wxDIRCTRL_DIR_ONLY | wxDIRCTRL_3D_INTERNAL)

works perfectly on Windows but when I try to run it on OS-X under
wxPythonOSX-2.4.1.2, I get the following message:

wxPyAssertionError: C++ Assertion "err == noErr" failed in
../src/mac/dirmac.cpp(122): Error accessing directory

I've tried all sorts of things with parameters, including trying to add the
'dir' parameter, all with no change whatsoever. My machine seems to be set
up correctly, and the wxGenericDirCtrl works fine in the Demo. I just can't
get it to work in anything I write.

Any ideas?

Sorry, none other than to figure out what is different between your app
and that sample in the demo.

After spending quite a bit of time on this, I've come to the conclusion that
it's not something wrong with my code. (see attached code sample, stolen
directly from the Demo, which fails on my Mac but works on my Windows
machine.)

The error message implies that it can't find "../src/mac/dirmac.cpp", which
indeed does not exist on my Mac. Is my wxPython installed wrong on that
machine?
