This happens because pydoc is trying to evaluate objects that haven't 
been initialized yet (because there is no wx.App object.)  You can get 
the same thing from a plain interpreter:


  $ python
  Python 2.4.4c1 (#2, Oct 11 2006, 21:51:02)
  [GCC 4.1.2 20060928 (prerelease) (Ubuntu 4.1.1-13ubuntu5)] on linux2
  Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
  >>> import wx
  >>> repr(wx.RED)
  Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
    File 
"/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/wx-2.8-gtk2-unicode/wx/_gdi.py", line 
242, in __repr__
      def __repr__(self):                 return 'wx.Colour' + 
str(self.Get(True))
    File 
"/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/wx-2.8-gtk2-unicode/wx/_gdi.py", line 
230, in Get
      return _gdi_.Colour_Get(*args, **kwargs)
  TypeError: in method 'Colour_Get', expected argument 1 of type 
'wxColour *'
  >>>
  >>> app = wx.App()
  >>> repr(wx.RED)
  'wx.Colour(255, 0, 0, 255)'
  >>>

This is exactly what it says it is, a warning that the wxPython package 
dir is no longer maintained and is deprecated.
