[wxPython] wxConfig: Linux=works, Win=no_works???

As a prelude to using wxConfig for my application, i wrote a quick
script to parse a windows ini file for another application my script
will run on a windows machine.

i bring the ini file over to linux and run my script, and the ini file
is parsed corectly.

when i run the script under windows, i get nottin. when i poke around
the entry of the first group looks like CLSID ???

has anyone else noticed trouble with windows version?

many thanks

=======================
     da script:

from wxPython.utils import *

# i change this for windows work:
base = '/home/godzilla/Engineering/dspring/stoplite/LedTests/PySrc'
iniFile = base + '/' + 'led.ini'

cf = wxConfig( localFilename=iniFile , style=wxCONFIG_USE_LOCAL_FILE)

more, entry, next = cf.GetFirstGroup()
while more:
  print entry
  cf.SetPath('/' + entry )
  moreE, entryE, nextE = cf.GetFirstEntry()
  while moreE:
    print '%s = %s'%(entryE, cf.Read(entryE))
    moreE, entryE, nextE = cf.GetNextEntry(nextE)
  cf.SetPath('../')
  more, entry, next = cf.GetNextGroup(next)

=======================
a piece of the ini file:

[SIZE]
x=0
y=0
cx=705
cy=853
Reopen=0
[FIRST_TIME]
firsttime=0
[SCANS_DIRECTORY]
scansdir=D:\LED\EXPORTS\
[LAST TYPE WINDOW]
windowType=1000

On MSW, the wxConfig class uses the registry. To force use of an ini file
you need to use wxFileConfig.
