core.py: TypeError: keyword arguments are not supported

[Michael Hipp]

I'm seeing this exception on the last line of this snippet from core.py.
Am I correct this looks like a bug.

What class are you trying to instantiate there? I've noticed this
before, I think it was when trying to call a deprecated function that
took zero args. SIP is using an optimization in that case where it
simply doesn't allow keyword args because there can't be any args at
all, so passing an empty dict for **kw is triggering a built-in Python
exception.

Here's the offending code:

import wx.grid as gridlib

class HugeTable(gridlib.PyGridTableBase):
def __init__(self, loader):
gridlib.PyGridTableBase.__init__(self)

The __init__ call is where it crashes. Obviously the fix is to just
change it to GridTableBase, but a deprecation warning is probably needed.
