gui wx incompatibilities with new wxpython 'phoenix'

See original GitHub issue

Hi,

running a program that uses wxpython gui with iphyton: ipython --gui wx --i my_program.py

gives an error like:

File “…/site-packages/IPython/terminal/pt_inputhooks/wx.py”, line 76, in inputhook_wx2 assert wx.Thread_IsMain() AttributeError: ‘module’ object has no attribute ‘Thread_IsMain’

On wxpython ‘phoenix’ seems that the method Thread_IsMain as been replaced by IsMainThread.

Replacing it on wx.py it seems to work.

I’m running

Python 2.7.10 IPython 5.1.0 wx.version 3.0.3.dev2553+47f1fd2 on OSX 10.11.6

In my case I had also a problem with a deprecation warning

IPython/terminal/pt_inputhooks/wx.py:106: wxPyDeprecationWarning: Using deprecated class EventLoop. Use GUIEventLoop instead.
  evtloop = wx.EventLoop()

It seems I fixed my setup with

cd site-packages/IPython
sed -i "s/EventLoop(/GUIEventLoop(/" lib/inputhookwx.py terminal/pt_inputhooks/wx.py
sed -i "s/app.ProcessIdle/evtloop.ProcessIdle/" lib/inputhookwx.py terminal/pt_inputhooks/wx.py
sed -i "s/Thread_IsMain/IsMainThread/" lib/inputhookwx.py terminal/pt_inputhooks/wx.py
