I get the same:

Since you are asking for a traceback, here is one:

If you had expected a Python traceback, sorry Rick: it didn't produce
one, since it crashed.

So Rick you managed to crash wxPython, in just 248 lines of code. This
doesn't give a very good impression of wxPython - "regular" Python
libraries shouldn't crash the interpreter.
