[Pythonmac-SIG] wxPython -- some disappointment using it.

[Charles Hartman]

If I recall correctly, this syndrome is covered in the book. It  
happens because the diagnostic's going to a window that closes when  
the app does. Look up wx.App(redirect=True) in the index -- you can  
write the diagnostic to a file and examine it at leisure. Sorry, I'm  
doing this from memory so the details are hazy.
