Installed as per instructions, when I run PythonTurtle I get this:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/noah/.local/bin/PythonTurtle", line 8, in <module>
    sys.exit(application.run())

    target.Connect(id1, id2, et, function)
TypeError: EvtHandler.Connect(): argument 1 has unexpected type 'WindowIDRef'

wxPython version is 4.0.7.post2, Python version 3.10.4

Any ideas?

   Is it a version mismatch problem here?

   Hmm, I see that the answer I sent by email was ignored by GitHub for some reason:

   I don't know, sorry. It's possible it's because the wxPython version is too high, you could try using it in a virtualenv with an old version. This is a project from 2009 that isn't very maintained.

   According to our README the supported wxPython version is 4.0.1.

   If you're willing to find out what changed in their API since that version we could add some conditional code the make it work for both that and your newer version of wxPython.

   A pull request to fix the problem would be awesome!

   I also get some kind of traceback error:

   Hi Shaun. I'm sorry, PythonTurtle has been bottom priority for me for a long time. It's unlikely anyone will help. If you have time I suggest you get Claude Code to take a stab at it.
