Please resend as an attachment - your lines are wrapped and hence the
code is doubly difficult to debug.
A couple of suggestions: wx swallows exceptions. This makes it
virtually impossible to debug scripts using wx since you cannot read
the stack trace. The problem may be a simple syntax error in your
script having nothing to do with matplotlib or the wx backend per se,
and you wouldn't see it because of the exception swallowing problem.
Workarounds:
1) insert some print statements at the top of each function so you
can see when the failure occurs. This is essentially what Jeremy
does in backend_wx. Change the _DEBUG level to a low number in
backend_wx to get more debugging information.
2) try running pychecker on your script.
A lifetime supply of free bugfixes to any wx guru who knows how to fix
this problem - Jeremy and I have certainly suffered with it long enough.
