I had a 2.8 and that was the wxPython release available when I did the
upgrade...

It immediately closes the dialog.
My opinion is that probably the wxEventLoop thing doesn't handle
correctly the reentrancy (that wouldn't the first idiocy in wx:P).
Maybe they fixed it in 3.0? I know for sure
that GTK (glib, actually) correctly dispatches multiple event loops. My wx 2.9
has this routine:
int wxGUIEventLoop::Run()
{
// event loops are not recursive, you need to create another loop!
wxCHECK_MSG( !IsRunning(), -1, "can't reenter a message loop" );
wxEventLoopActivator activate(this);
gtk_main();
OnExit();
return m_exitcode;
}
gtk_main is *not* what you want for a modal loop, so it seems an issue with
wx...
(the proper way would be using g_main_loop_new and g_main_loop_run, gtk_main
also does application level stuff). If in 3.0 it is done in a different way,
then that's the reason:D
Also I don't know if wxGUIEventLoop is supported on 2.8 (didn't find it
in the docs)
