[pytools] Open module results can't be seen

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Search for a module prefix i.e 'os'

The results box results include the complete path of all the matches and
the ListBox (on osx anyway) doesn't have a horizontal scrollbar so the only
way to see the actually python file names found is to expand the dialog as
wide as the path is (which can be very wide).

Suggest trying a regular ListCtrl in report mode with a single column, or
truncating the paths (though I would consider this a less than optimal
solution.).

Setting 'SetWindowVariant' to WINDOW_VARIANT_SMALL on OSX can also helps by
making the text smaller, but don't use it on other platforms as the smaller
text does not look correct on them.

Switched the listbox to a listctrl. How is it on MacOSX?

Note that on linux/gtk the selection of a listitem gives the following warning:

(python:8910): Gtk-WARNING **: 
/build/buildd/gtk+2.0-2.14.4/gtk/gtkwidget.c:9042:
widget class `GtkPizza' has no property named `row-ending-details'

It seems nothing serious:

Looks good to me,

closing as fixed.

What version of wxWidgets/wxPython are you using? I seem to remember something 
like
this being fixed in the latest release.

Can't check directly now but it's not the latest release. I'm using ubuntu 
intrepid 
so it should be wxpython 2.8.8.0
