python interpreter crashing instead of getting PyNoAppError about phoenix HOT 2 CLOSED

Phoenix is crashing the interpreter, and when I boiled my code down to
the bare minimum I discovered it was an issue where I was catching an
exception and then trying to display it in a MessageDialog before I
had created the wx.App object.

Attached is the result of the code simplification.

Here's is the program's output from wxPython-classic:

3.0.2.0 msw (classic)
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "crash_phoenix.py", line 6, in
dlg = wx.MessageDialog ( parent=None, message='boom', caption='Crash',
style=wx.OK|wx.ICON_ERROR )
File "C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\wx-3.0-msw\wx_windows.py", line
3631, in init
/windows/.MessageDialog_swiginit(self,/windows/.new_MessageDialog(/args,
*/kwargs))
wx._core.PyNoAppError: The wx.App object must be created first!

However, when run from phoenix, it crashes the python interpreter

Yep, this is a known issue. I haven't yet worked out how to best
implement that check with the new implementation tech. It's on the TODO
list though.

Phoenix is now checking for the existence of a wxApp object at appropriate places.
