RE: suppression of new error

Those errors (and similar ones for Horizontal)) result from using alignment flags, (I.e. wx.Top, wx.Bottom, wx.Centre, etc.) along with wx.Expand. It is normally reasonably quick to locate the occurrences of these in your source code. (I got caught out with this and had to do a bulk update on my code.

Personally, since they are errors raised from the C++ wxWidgets code, (rather than python exceptions), I thought that it was better to fix the problem rather than potentially suppressing other errors along with this one.

The problem we face is that they throw exceptions, which is not desirable in the hands of users. Is there a way that we can suppress this or at least downgrade this to a warning — other than for the developers?

If those are, indeed, Exceptions you might add a (top-pish
level) exception handler and just log them ?

This sort of thing might help, perhaps:

        (wx.App).SetAssertMode(wx.APP_ASSERT_EXCEPTION | wx.APP_ASSERT_LOG)
