I tried it on Windows. The ls command and other external commands are
working for me.

On Linux, ls does not work as intended. And I have another (bigger)
problem: The input text is shown as black on black. Setting
self.default_text_color does not work on startup. When I hit tab, the
correct color is applied. However, On the next input line, it starts
again with black on black.

I changed the default background to white to have white on black ;-)

Another problem with my linux version is, that I have to set the cursor
manually after entering a line. Otherwise all input is ignored.

I use the following wx version:
In [4]: import wx
In [5]: wx.version()
Out[5]: '2.8.1.1 (gtk2-ansi)'
