Works fine with wxPython 4.2.0 First reported in https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/243561

I have upgraded (on Windows) to wxPython 4.2.1 but there the issue is not reproducable. According to the documentation (https://wxpython.org/Phoenix/docs/html/wx.MenuItem.html#wx.MenuItem.init) the second argument is supposed to be an int. So I think the problem lies elsewhere. What Python version are you using?

I believe its 3.10.12

The Nix package uses Python 3.9. EasyABC has other known issues with Python 3.10 ( https://github.com/jwdj/EasyABC/issues/52 )

indeed you are right !

Yeah, I'm thinking there's something wrong with the Nix package for wxPython or wxWidgets. I changed that EasyABC line to say wx.ID_ANY instead of -1 and I get TypeError: MenuItem(): argument 2 has unexpected type 'StandardID' which is a more googleable error message that led me to https://web.archive.org/web/20230603153021/https://discuss.wxpython.org/t/typeerror-menuitem-argument-2-has-unexpected-type-standardid-when-running-the-demo/36464 in which people suspect of an incorrect wxWidgets build.

I'll see if I can create a small repro.
