Very nice application! I was eager to try it, but unfortunately on
Windows XP, Python 2.5, wxPython 2.8.7.1 I get:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\Documents and
Settings\Andrea\Desktop\phatch-0.1.bzr331\phatch-0.1.bzr331\phatch\pyWx\lib\paint.py",
line 41, in OnEraseBackground
    dc = GCDC(_dc)
  File "C:\Python25\Lib\site-packages\wx-2.8-msw-ansi\wx\_gdi.py",
line 6031, in __init__
    _gdi_.GCDC_swiginit(self,_gdi_.new_GCDC(*args))
TypeError: in method 'new_GCDC', expected argument 1 of type 'wxWindow *'

This happens at the very beginning, after the splash screen.
