Question

I have the following code:

import wx
from sys import platform

wildcard = "CSV files|*.csv|"\
           "XML files|*.xml|"\
           "Microsoft Excel files|*.xlsx" if platform == "win32" else "CSV files|*.csv|"\
                                                                      "XML files|*.xml|"

if __name__ == "__main__":
    app = wx.PySimpleApp(0)
    wx.InitAllImageHandlers()
    frame_1 = wx.Frame(None, -1, "")
    app.SetTopWindow(frame_1)
    frame_1.Show()
    dlg = wx.FileDialog(
            frame_1, message="Choose a file",
            defaultDir="",
            defaultFile="",
            wildcard=wildcard, #PROBLEM IS HERE THAT'S FOR SURE
            style=wx.OPEN
    )
    dlg.ShowModal() #IT CRASHES HERE
    dlg.Destroy()
    app.MainLoop()

This FileDialog works perfect in Windows and Linux but crashes in Mac OS X. Is there anything I could change in order to get FileDialog working properly in Mac OS X?

Python 2.7.3, wxPython 2.8, Mac OS X 10.6

UPDATE: Updated to be a small sample.

UPDATE 2: Without “wildcard” parameter it works great but I need wildcard anyway.

Just found answer myself:

It crashes in Mac when wildcard improperly formatted, after removing last “|” in wildcard everything work just fine.
