Python3 + g.gui.animation: Traceback when clicking on the settings button

[pmav99]

On Python 3, clicking on the "settings" button, throws an exception:

/home/feanor/Prog/git/grass-p3/repo/dist.x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/gui/wxpython/animation/dialogs.py:2007: wxPyDeprecationWarning: Call to deprecated item. Use SetToolTip instead.
  "Click and then press key up or down to preview "
Traceback (most recent call last):

AttributeError: module 'wx' has no attribute 'HyperlinkCtrl'

PS. Have *not* tested this on python 2

I confirm this error in python 3; works fine with python 2

Just confirmed that this happens on Python2 too. It seems that this is an issue related to wxPython 4+. On my end, both on Python 2 and Python 3:

pip freeze | grep wx
wxPython==4.0.4

It seems that the on wxPython4 they changed the namespace:

• wx 3: ​http://xoomer.virgilio.it/infinity77/wxPython/Widgets/wx.HyperlinkCtrl.html
• wx 4: ​https://wxpython.org/Phoenix/docs/html/wx.adv.HyperlinkCtrl.html

Something like this should fix it:

import wx.adv
# ...
    link = wx.adv.HyperlinkCtrl(

but that would break compatibility with wxPython3 (not sure if we still care for that).
