Almar,
I checked permissions for the two Python folders and they were the same, so unless Pyzo itself was demanding different permissions for the different python versions, I wouldn't know what other things to pursue. I took the coward's way out and installed Spyder. Upon using that, it ran my old programs in Python 3 using wxpython fine other than some minor changes due to depreciated function calls. No drama whatsoever. I also discovered that I can run either python 2 or 3 from the terminal by either using *python* or *python3* to invoke 2.7 or 3.6 installed in Mint 19. This helps me set up desktop launchers for the old programs or new versions. That's nice! Thanks for your help!
