Print redirection problem

Thank you for reading this.

I'm continuing to have trouble reconciling programming styles that I see 
in books with examples that I see online. In an effort to overcome this 
problem I have a template that seems to work in most instances yet I 
have come unstuck with an example on page 35 from "WxPython in Action 
2012" that shows how redirect the output of print statements to the 
console or a file.

Print from MyApp is displayed but nothing after that.

import wx

class MyApp(wx.App):
     def __init__(self, redirect=True, filename=None):
         print('App __init__') # This is printed to the console
         super().__init__(self, redirect, filename)

         # init frame
         self.InitFrame()

     def InitFrame(self):
         print('Init Frame')
         frame = MyFrame(parent=None,
                         title="Redirection",
                         size=(300, 300),
                         pos=(100, 100))

         frame.Show()

class MyFrame(wx.Frame):
     def __init__(self, parent, title, size, pos):
         print('Frame __init__')
         super().__init__(parent=parent, title=title, size=(300, 300), 
pos=pos)

         self.OnInit()

     def OnInit(self):
         panel = MyPanel(parent=self)

class MyPanel(wx.Panel):
     def __init__(self, parent):
         super().__init__(parent=parent)

         wx.StaticText(self, label="Redirect print to panel or file", 
pos=(20, 20))

if __name__ == "__main__":
     app = MyApp(redirect=True)#, 'filename')
     app.MainLoop()

The error message is:

App __init__
Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "/usr/lib/python3.8/idlelib/run.py", line 559, in runcode
     exec(code, self.locals)
   File "/home/phil/Python/wx_redirection.py", line 37, in <module>
     app = MyApp(redirect=True)#, 'filename')
   File "/home/phil/Python/wx_redirection.py", line 6, in __init__
     super().__init__(self, redirect, filename)
   File "/home/phil/.local/lib/python3.8/site-packages/wx/core.py", line 
2175, in __init__
     self.SetUseBestVisual(useBestVisual)
TypeError: PyApp.SetUseBestVisual(): argument 1 has unexpected type 
'NoneType'

It would seem that the error is due to something in MyFrame not being 
setup correctly but at the moment I cannot see how to solve the problem.
