Myself, I just use GNU Emacs.

Have you installed the base wxpython package as well? Furthermore, are you using Ubuntu package? I don't know Debian variants too well, but it seems best to go with the official release. http://packages.ubuntu.com/cgi-bin/search_packages.pl?keywords=wx&searchon=names&subword=1&version=dapper&release=all > My question is : Where should I put the package (download it to..) so > when I unpack it the IDE can find it? > I looked around and found a reference to PYTHONPATH which is supposed to > tell Python where everything is but I simply cannot find it anywhere. I > found sys.path but I don't think that is what I want.... sys.path and PYTHONPATH do configure the location of Python libraries for special purposes. sys.path is actually a list of all standard locations for libraries built-in to Python at compile time as well as nonstandard locations given in PYTHONPATH or through command line arguments. You can even add to sys.path dynamically I think. But wxpython from Debian/Ubuntu should install to a standard location. -- Theerasak -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
