BUG: UltimateListCtrl error when setting colour with String, rather than wx.Colour object

[Nathan McCorkle]

Here's the error:

self.middleSplitter.myUltimateList.SetColumnWidth(1, wx.LIST_AUTOSIZE)
File "C:\MyProject\ThirdParty\Portable Python
2.7.5.1\App\lib\site-packages\wx-2.9.4-msw\wx\lib\agw\ultimatelistctrl.py",
line 11254, in SetColumnWidth
self._mainWin.SetColumnWidth(col, width)
File "C:\MyProject\ThirdParty\Portable Python
2.7.5.1\App\lib\site-packages\wx-2.9.4-msw\wx\lib\agw\ultimatelistctrl.py",
line 8699, in SetColumnWidth
item = itemData.GetItem(item)
File "C:\MyProject\ThirdParty\Portable Python
2.7.5.1\App\lib\site-packages\wx-2.9.4-msw\wx\lib\agw\ultimatelistctrl.py",
line 3165, in GetItem
if self._attr.HasTextColour():
File "C:\MyProject\ThirdParty\Portable Python
2.7.5.1\App\lib\site-packages\wx-2.9.4-msw\wx\lib\agw\ultimatelistctrl.py",
line 1253, in HasTextColour
return self._colText.Ok()
AttributeError: 'str' object has no attribute 'Ok'


I get this after

item1 = self.middleSplitter.myUltimateList.GetItem(rowIndex, 1)
item1.SetTextColour('red')
self.middleSplitter.myUltimateList.SetItem(item1)

but not if I do

item1 = self.middleSplitter.myUltimateList.GetItem(rowIndex, 1)
item1.SetTextColour(wx.Colour(255,0,0))
self.middleSplitter.myUltimateList.SetItem(item1)

I added some print statements in ultimatelistctrl.py in the function
HasTextColour

def HasTextColour(self):
""" Returns ``True`` if the currently set text colour is valid. """
print self._colText
print type(self._colText)
return self._colText.Ok()

and indeed see a difference between 'red' and wx.Colour(255,0,0)

red
<type 'str'>

vs (when I use a wx.Colour)
