I'm having problems with wxBitmapButton as discussed in this post to the wxPython-users list yesterday. Robin indicates that this is a known problem on the Mac. I wonder if someone here can confirm this and possibly point out a workaround? What confuses me is that the wxBitmapButton example in the wxPython Demo works fine (PNG image encoded with img2py).
Any help is much appreciated.
Cheers, Darran.

Looking at the wxPython wxBitmapButton demo, the authors use hardcoded XPM images rather than loading from

Yes. The problem you are running into is a known problem with BitmapButtons on wxMac. I don't know the details but it is something to do with which native format that is being used to give the image to the native control. If you put the same image in wx.StaticBitmap then you'll see that it is being loaded okay.
