Using wx.html.HtmlHelpController() in Phoenix

After converting an application from Python 2.7/Classic to 3.4/Phoenix, 
(using Windows, OS X is OK) its help file, displayed using a class derived 
from wx.html.HtmlHelpController() showed all the html tags as text instead 
of interpretting them, see attached, although with Robin's stand alone 
wx.tools.helpviewer.py in Phoenix the file renders correctly.

Reducing the app to the bare essentials to isolate this, I eventually 
discovered that the *import wx.html* that is necesary for using 
HtmlHelpController must be done *before* the main wx.App is defined and I 
was doing the import inside the derived class. You can see this effect if 
you move the location of the import in helpviewer.py.

Not a serious problem - now I know the answer! - but I thought I would 
report it here to save someone's time in case anyone else runs into this.
