[wxpython-mac] Where is this "Debug" message coming from?

[John Jackson]

It's in

bool wxColourBase::FromString(const wxChar *str)

in src/common/colourcmn.cpp in the wx source. (Always handy to have  
the source around to find these things.)

It's hitting

     wxLogDebug(wxT("wxColour::Set - couldn't set to colour string '% 
s'"), str);
     return false;

Somewhere you are setting a color name of 'None' and trying to get  
the color from that string.
