Predefined colours in wxPython

[Jérôme Laheurte]

I’m in the process of porting an application to python3/wx4 and just found why a bunch of my tests fail:

Python 3.8.5 (default, Jan 27 2021, 15:41:15)
[GCC 9.3.0] on linux
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import wx
>>> wx.RED
wx.Colour(-1, -1, -1, 255)
>>> wx.BLACK
wx.Colour(-1, -1, -1, 255)
>>> wx.BLUE
wx.Colour(-1, -1, -1, 255)
>>> wx.RED == None
True
>>> wx.RED == wx.BLACK
True
>>>

It seems like all predefined colours have the same « null colour » value ?

Ubuntu 20.04, wxPython 4.1.1 (installed through pip in a venv)

This has pretty much always been true.  The constants don't get initialized until you instantiate a wx.App() object.  You don't even have to use it.

Aaaah I’m missing the wx.App :) Thanks.
