Hi Dusty ;-) .. still around?
I've gotten a report by a user that pallavi doesn't work. I took a short look at it, and found the problem.
It's located in hte SimpleMenubar.py, line 167 where you don't check if the menubar.findMenu(menuname) >= 0, what can (and will) crash the application on startup.
Patch attached, "works for me" with python 2.6.5 and wxpython 2.8.10.1.
SimpleMenubar.py bugfix (crash on startup)
