Is this Python script your own code? If not, it will be good for you to
correspond with the author(s) of the code.

The traceback output shows where the exception was raised. The end of
the chain of calls shows:

>  File "/usr/local/lib/wxPython-3.0.1.1/lib/python2.7/site-packages/wx-3.0-osx_cocoa/wx/_core.py", line 16709, in __getattr__

So this is a “PyDeadObjectError” exception raised from the file named
above. Judging by the path, it seems to be code within wxPython.

You should ask for further help on the wxPython forums. You should also
contact the author of the top-level code you're running. Good hunting.
