If I understand, you were able redirect stdout/stderr to a file. And
in that file was the error message you quoted above.

So now you've got a new problem. Some issue with locale.

Unfortunately, I don't know have an answer. You might try searching
the wxPython list, or posting your question to it.

Anybody else able to help?


FYI: I did my development on W2K using the packages from
     wxpython.org. I tested it on my linux box using an RPM from
     wxpython.org. No apt-get for me.
