#176 TypeError: MenuItem(): argument 2 has unexpected type 'StandardID'

[davidak]

I tried to update the nixos package, but it produces a traceback. Is that something you have to fix?

Python 3.10.12
wxPython 4.2.1
humblewx 0.2.2

[Rickard Lindberg]

As far as I can tell, we are calling the API correctly.

Something like in the thread linked seems possible:

We are suspecting that somehow through the various updates to MSW and Visual Studio we end up calling an outdated DLL somehow.

Can you play with different version of Python / wxPython / Timeline?

[davidak]

Yes.

wxPython 4.2.1 seem to introduce this issue. Can you reproduce that?

I don't have the issue with:

Python 3.10.12
wxPython 4.2.0 <-
humblewx 0.2.2

Issue reproducible with:

Python 3.11.4
wxPython 4.2.1
humblewx 0.2.2

Python 3.10.12
wxPython 4.2.1
humblewx 0.2.2

Python 3.9.17
wxPython 4.2.1
humblewx 0.2.2

Unable to test:

Python 3.12.0b2 (meson don't build)
Python 3.8.17 (backports-zoneinfo broken)

[Rickard Lindberg]

I have now tried with the following versions:

• Python: 3.9.10
• wxPython: 4.2.1

It works for me.

[davidak]

OK, then the issue seem not in the code.

I tested with that exact version and still get the issue.

Will debug further. Thanks!
