wx.EventLoop() deprecation warning #1901
Description
When running an application which uses the wxPython 4.2.2 library, the VS-Code debugger v2025.6.0 is reporting a number of deprecation warnings that tend to fill the console. An example is...
c:\Users\xxxxx.vscode\extensions\ms-python.debugpy-2025.6.0-win32-x64\bundled\libs\debugpy_vendored\pydevd\pydev_ipython\inputhookwx.py:131: wxPyDeprecationWarning: Using deprecated class EventLoop. Use GUIEventLoop instead.
I have edited all references to wx.EventLoop to use wx.GUIEventLoop in inputhookwx.py and that seems to have resolved the issue.

Presumably these come from wxPython, not us

Graham Wheeler (@gramster) Actually no, we provide the event loop hooks for this sort of thing.
this code here:
