wxTextCtrl.LoadFile error

Hello,

I am trying to load a text file into a wxTextCtrl, and I keep getting this message:

Quote:

(test.py:4676): Gtk-CRITICAL **: file gtktextbuffer.c: line 557 (gtk_text_buffer_emit_insert): assertion `g_utf8_validate (text, len, NULL)' failed

Here is the code I am using:

Code:

from wxPython.wx import *

class MainWindow(wxFrame):

    """ We simply derive a new class of Frame. """

    def __init__(self,parent,id,title):

        wxFrame.__init__(self,parent,wxID_ANY, title, size = ( 400,300),

                                    style=wxDEFAULT_FRAME_STYLE|wxNO_FULL_REPAINT_ON_RESIZE)

        control = wxTextCtrl(self, 1, style=wxTE_MULTILINE)

        control.LoadFile("/etc/hosts")

        self.control = control

        self.Show(true)

app = wxPySimpleApp()

frame = MainWindow(None, -1, "Test")

app.MainLoop()

Any help will be appreciated.

I have the same problem ¿Have you solved the problem?

Many thanks in advance

Somebody can help me?

I too am having trouble loading text files that were creating on other OS's due to the UTF-8 validation check. You can call the function g_utf8_validate() to handle the error in your program before it crashes, however, I have yet found out how to convert the files to utf-8. I'm using C and not python, but I believe we have similar issues here.

If I figure it out I will let you know.
